There's another side to this as well...

Thanks for fixing this issue!

Apparently, "addressed this issue" means that PWA drove by and glanced at it, at most. The photo, taken today, shows no change whatsoever.

Why are so many issues "closed" even though nothing has been done? Who is lying about this, and why?

I'll send thanks when I actually see it. Too many times before PWA has lied about these issues.

So, in just two days PWA apparently "addressed this issue" by lying about it again, as the new photograph shows from Friday the 25th at 4:45 p.m. May we please request a comparative forensic analysis so that we may understand the changes?

I posted the wrong photo above. This is the one in question.
