But people don't have to pay cash, the "pretend people" pay cash.
If you do too many cash transactions compared to legit carwashes in the area i can imagine it will attract attention

And it sucks ass

I think generally it should not be allowed. A big component of soap is phosphates, which promote algae growth so you really don't want it in your rivers. Some cities have combined or separated sewer systems. Even if combined, it may be designed to overflow during heavy rain, so it's not a guarantee that car wash water with dirt, soap and oil will not go into into a stream somewhere although in that case you're also s…
That's fair, but it doesn't explain why the bylaw won't even let you rinse the mud off your car with nothing but water

Not everyone wants to provide geolocation data about themselves
Ha!, I knew someone would come back with this. Consider this: If I were to say, “In Tokyo, people stand on the left side of the escalator and walk on the right side, opposite to Osaka,” would you automatically assume I'm a Tokyo resident?

For something that you can pick up just by visiting? Maybe not. For information like this, about specific bylaws that are relevant for homeowners or car owners? Yeah absolutely I would assume they live there

Both public transport and taxi/cab/uber are alternatives to car ownership.

My local car was has a $20/month subscription for unlimited washes. These aren't exactly luxury services--they're priced similar to a Netflix plan. If you have a car, it's worth it if you value our time at all.
But if you value your time, why would you wash your car multiple times per month?
