The fact that Santa Monica prides itself on being "green" but in fact people still water the sidewalks and clean their driveways with hoses. It is supposed to be a ticketable offense, but when I contacted the water "police" about it, they said they only had 2 people working there and could not go around policing it. Then they said they would send me the pamphlets and I could walk around S.M. and ticket people myself...for no pay. Nice. You know what else bothers me?
