To be clear the bill didn't ban towing it just reduced the fee from 300 to 250 and reduced the drop fee from 150 to 62.50
It also made tow truck drivers searching for cars to tow illegal forcing landlords to actually monitor their own lots and call a company if they need a car towed.
What's so frustrating about the current bullshit is that these truck companies just wait around and tow from lots, usually at night, where cars aren't actually blocking any customers. The example they use in the story is bank of America which is closed when the towing usually happens.
It's all a bullshit scam and the fact that baltimore charges more than any county outside of Anne arundel and more than fucking philly is insane.
Fuck Costello and yitzy for their constant business first residents never mentality. Vote these assholes out.

I got hit by one of those tow tracks camping outside a new apartment building in South Baltimore. I’m broke as shit so that hurt. But play stupid games, win stupid prizes I guess.
But, like of course parking is going to be more expensive in the city, asphalt is at a higher premium. Philly parking is definitely more expensive than parking in King of Prussia

Noone is talking about parking. This is about how much a tow truck company can charge for towing a car and about allowing them to only take cash and allowing them to sit on lots waiting to pounce on cars.

Oh my bad, you’re right - brain totally read in the word parking after you said charges, and that wasn’t there.

I am not sure I even need to know the issue to know that I would be on the other side.
