Sidenote: I pay for an annual parking pass for my block. The PPA makes it such a pain in the ass to get a temp pass, when I had a rental last year it was easier for me to just remove the plate and cover the VIN. Drove around the city for 3 weeks in a Mercedes with no plates, in front of several cops, and didn’t encounter an issue once.

They’re both good! I grew up in Chicago and while I enjoyed Taste of Chicago and the Air and Water Show, there’s a different vibe to Montreal’s festivals. Also what Montreal’s done with making outdoor dining (known as terrasses there) a part of their culture along with transforming their streets to be far less car oriented are things Chicago hasn’t done as much that we should do here in Philly.

>1 of 7 characters when you have the make, color, and the year, or years range, is way less than 2^6.

That depends on how searches are structured/partitioned in the databases. The "scan space" may still be 2^6. I make a habit of assuming the worst possible architecture when we talk about government.
