She should have parked on an unregulated street.

When I lived in that neighborhood a few years ago, there was a car with NJ tags on the unregulated part of 20th Street, between Mt. Vernon and Wallace streets. I don't know why I noticed it, but sometime in the late winter I saw it was crusted over with leaves. And then I saw that the registration had expired about six months prior.

I wanted the parking space, so I called 611, nothing. I used the city web portal, nothing. And then one morning, I saw a PPA guy walking down the street and I stopped him and told him about this, and I'll never forget his response:

"That's not my responsibility."

I think the car finally moved when the city resurfaced the road later that year.
