Do DC’s Hated Traffic Cameras Really Make the City Safer? Plus, Why You Should Go to a Rave

Would cities be safer if there were more automated traffic cameras? In 2025, Washington, DC, brought in nearly $270 million from more than 500 automated traffic enforcement cameras — including a single camera that issued $9 million in tickets. City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast DC [https://dc.citycast.fm/] podcast co-host Bridget Todd about how these cameras work, the congressional scrutiny they've been getting, and whether they make DC safer.

Philly's Bold Nightlife Experiment. Plus, a Non-Trumpified 4th of July

Would your city be better if the bars stayed open later?

City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Philly [https://philly.citycast.fm/] podcast host Trenae Nuri about the city’s nightlife, and the pros and cons of this extended hours experiment.

Is DC Really a Safer City Now? Plus, a Sidewalks Problem

Violent crime in Washington DC has decreased significantly in recent years, but there are still more murders in our nation's capital than there were 15 years ago. How do we make sense of the crime data, and, more broadly, why has violent crime been on the decline in American cities? City Cast CEO David Plotz brings on fellow Washingtonian and public policy writer Matt Yglesias [https://www.slowboring.com/] to dig into the numbers, DC's unique crime abatement challenges, and how the city has changed over the years when it comes to public safety. Plus, the problem with our neighborhood sidewalks. Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about? Email David now!
