48 hour resident parking rule

[robin bobo]

Hi,

I just got slapped with a parking ticket for leaving my car in one spot for 48 hours. (I am a resident.) I guess it was obvious from the snow piled on top of it.

But this just sounds like a bad law. Why would you want to incentivize people to move their cars every 2 days? I am not blocking thing, I am in a legal parking spot, no one is hurt by me leaving my car where I park it all of the time. If they have problem with me leaving snow on my car, then the law should be, "Residents must clear snow from car within 48hours of snow storm."

My understanding of this sort of rule is that they don't want people to store unused cars on the streets. It will probably remain thus as long as the excise tax (which gets you a resident permit) is cheaper than a year's garage space rental.

Such a rule is not needed, because during non-winter months, each side of the street is swept twice a month. Any car that remains on the side to be swept can be ticketed.
