If you go out into the street at 11pm you'll see poor people running power washers everywhere you go

I've lived here since 2017. I have yet to see the poor people running power washers at night.

Which neighbourhood do you suggest I visit for this spectacle?

By the way I'm not GP, I just wanted to clarify what they said (or attempted to). Apologies.

No worries. I understood perfectly well what they said. I just couldn't believe they said something so stupid.
