actually, my roommate recently got a ticket for having his car parked in a spot for more than 72 hours. he is a resident, and it is registered with the city. it was not during designated parking ban days. this seemed like a stiff penalty, but i understand that the city is at least trying (in some places) to make it possible to plow.
many cars have been left in spots for the entirety of this winter, despite parking bans/requiring to move them to the opposite side of the street to plow.
i think holding those residents accountable for making this bad situation worse is totally acceptable.

Ahem... thank you for your astute comments Yale/ACLU watcher. It's great to know there are folks looking out for other's interests. Especially if you are fighting for the right for all offending vehicles to be towed. Yes, there are many things to fight for in the world but this sounds like an extermely important issue that needs attention - especially when city department budgets keep getting smaller and smaller yet are made to continue maintaining a city as if nothing has occured to impede this process.
I find great relief knowing that you have taken it upon yourself to give the ACLU a bad rap - very courageous of you, as you hide behind your anonymity.

@Seth,
I am not disputing this but pointing out existing conditions as they stand. I wish that Yale/ACLU would also insist on enforcing ticketing of cyclists riding on sidewalks, as this is clearly enforced in New Haven, yet not done so across the entire city and done so predominately during a season with no impeding obstructions that may inhibit the ability for the city to perform under "necessity" such as, lots and lots of snow piled everywhere. Parallel parking spaces buried due to large amounts of snow piled everywhere and no place else to park, coupled with a city budget not much larger than my pinkie finger.

Seth,
You don't need to apologize.
Let me be plainer - how do you enforce an ordinance - city wide - when existing conditions impede the process? The car may not have not been towed yet- it may still be buried in the snow with the tow truck unable to get the car out - does that conflict with the city ordinance? Is it logical to think that if one car is towed, then all must be towed - despite the (and this is my new favorite phrase) "mega amounts of snow that have fallen from the sky"?

Ethan is correct. Start with one car on one street that poses a danger to a neighborhood. Don't waste time debating Yale.edu folks about formal logic and civility.
The real issue here: This is New Haven, let's clean up the mess and move forward...New Haven Style!
Typing solves nothing...pick up a shovel or get towed.
Don't leave your personal property on a public street when there is a "mega" storm. That's quite selfish and wrong. One car can cause a lot of collateral inconvenience
