A question of notice
Coming back and finding that your car no longer is where you left it triggers fear and anger, especially if you parked legally in the first place.
Thats something Councilmember David Greenfield knows all too well. One day, he parked outside City Hall only to find his car missing when he returned to it.
Learning that it had been towed because the spot had been turned into a temporary tow-away zone has driven him to introduce legislation that would give drivers a notice of at least 24 hours before the city could convert a perfectly legal parking spot into a temporary tow-away zone.
