20 to 30 calls all in a short amount of time for one illegally parked car, could definitely overwhelme system during that time frame, especially if people are doing it for multiple cars a day.
Their suggestion was not to call 911. It was to form a group of people to all call 911 for each car that someone posted

Having everyone calling 911 doesn't make it inconvenient for PPD. It clogs up 911 lines, so that people having actual emergencies won't be answered as quickly.
If all those people lobbied their council members to establish a non emergency line for Police instead of calling 911, that would be a more reasonable idea.
Or lobby the PPA to have an illegal parking phone # that people could call and PPA could send out a person to issue a ticket. They are ruthlessly efficient, and it would probably work well as parking is their main mission anyway

Easier to steal parked cars? Kia and Hyundai have you covered on the first part of that suggestion.
Works out as long as you don't mind having your car stolen by teens that have tik tok.
