Your 311 requests are wild or nah?

Listen, if you been livin' in Philly for five minutes, you know about 311. That's the jawn you call when your neighbor's trash is lookin' like a small mountain or that street light on the corner of 52nd and Girard is out again. So when I'm lookin' at the latest data for 311 service requests, and the top eight categories are all just listed as "Miscellaneous"? That's somethin' else.

I'm not even gonna hold you, "Miscellaneous" bein' the top jawn eight times over tells me somethin' about how we trackin' things over at City Hall. Is it potholes? Is it graffiti? Is it folks complainin' about those wild dirt bike riders on Broad Street? We don't know! It's just "Miscellaneous."

* Top 311 requests: "Miscellaneous"

* Next top request: "Miscellaneous"

* The one after that: "Miscellaneous"

* And so on, eight times straight.

This tells me we got a transparency problem, or at least a categorization problem, with how we're trackin' the stuff that *really* affects us in our neighborhoods. We can't fix what we can't properly identify, youse know? We need to see what these "miscellaneous" requests actually are so we can hold our council folks accountable. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of question marks.

That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.
