Reply to comment by lifeisakoan in My car got towed on Columbus Avenue in the South End this morning, presumably for street cleaning. I was parked for 45 minutes and there was no sign about street cleaning where I parked. I even paid for the parking on the Park Boston app, which did not warn me. Is there anything I can do? by kzy888

Which is total bullshit. City needs to stop towing cars for anything other than emergency reasons. Most folks have no clue about street sweeping, half the signs are missing, the machines often don’t even sweep, and the whole “we will steal and impound your car to get you to pay a $40 fine” is total crap.

It’s just a racket by the tow companies and shitty politicians to make MILLIONS of dollars off the backs of folks who can’t afford private parking spots and lots.
