has anyone else noticed an annoying trend with your city.
since properties are being given back to the banks and the cities can't collect taxes on them, and they can't get the same money in property taxes from existing homes (because home prices have collapsed), cities have now turned to their police force to crank up the amount of traffic tickets as a way to keep their budget intact.
does this bother anyone besides me? the greatest thing of concern to me would be alienating a society you signed up to protect. when an officer is in distress, you would hope that someone would help, but good will towards peace officers are being eroded by cities and their greed in troubled times.
someone tell me that things aren't this bad.
