Towing for 48 hours, does it actually happen?

So I know about the 48 hour rule, but the 311 messages lately were the first I've heard that you can be towed for it.

So I was wondering--does this ACTUALLY happen to people? With no warning? I need to leave my car for 60 hours (plus another 12 hours on a holiday) and I'm okay with the possibility of a ticket, but towing--is something they just hypothetically can do, or has this actually happened to anyone who wasn't using the street as super long-term storage?

Have you contacted your alderman and asked him or her to see about changing the law?

We- this community- had this debate a number of times over the years- there's not enough support to overturn it. Others have contacted their alderman. I've emailed mine. We've even had Tom Champion poke his head in on it last year. Yet the law still stands.

Sure, when you use your usual icon I can recognize you and remember that you've talked about this here before :)

Sorry for being quick to assume you were just complaining without acting.

I like to keep people on their toes.....
