- Boston is putting the breaks on people's attempts to use everyday items to hold parking spots they've spent hours digging out from the snow. Anna Werner reports from Boston, where their removal is getting a chilly reception.
The next morning, the sanitation department had their tired slash
Jx INCREÍBLE 🤣🤣😂
Do not slash heavy truck tires. It is legit dangerous

No please do! I would love to come out and find my tires slashed - and half an arm.

Lol “I moved here and got my tires slashed” “half my neighbors are cops”
Lol and he got all shifty eyed after he said it! Like "Oh shoot! Probably shouldn't have said that!"
XD
Dress for a midnight OP and slash the cops tires or shove a couple of bananas up the police cars exhaust pipes while wearing gloves of course. FTP!
Considering it’s Boston, they’re probably STAZI
Was wondering I was the only one who caught that lol
So I go slash everyone’s tires. Sure to get the right person.
Half my neighbors are cops.
So there's a 50/50 chance a cop slashed 3 of your tires there sport.
Let that sink in.
100% chance
Welcome to southie! God I love Boston.
We do this in chicago you NEVER take someones space its just a unwritten rule.
@@Fish-gl6is well unless you pay property taxes on that spot, it's not yours techinically. It's like me putting an everyday item at your driveway and call it mine...
I see why people does that, but putting an item on the street doesn't actually make it yours. Can't blame the city does the clean up.
@@Tigerlui531 In the citys there are no driveways or garages (in some parts) so people reserve spots on the streets in front of their house so they dont have to walk far in the cold.
My bet is the mayor doesn’t have to worry about saving his space.
@Kira Yeah and the guy talking about they don't take driveways away from the people in the suburbs but he doesn't understand they paid for that and its their property lol
i live in philly. currently renting. never had a place that came with a parking spot. guess what.... some times i have to park around the block. guess what else... one of the mandatory things my future house will require is a parking spot.
looks like a perfect time to get rid of shit from your attic.
Hehehe suckers.
😂
yes! why pay for a skip! just save a few spaces :D
Half his neighbors are "Cops" and he had three of his tires slashed!!!!!
Sgt G right lol
Sgt G lmho
quit stealing comments, it's unbecoming.
Nypd is incompetent thanks to liberals protesting it's existence
If it’s the law of the land then it’s understood peace. I’m sure in that area cops have a lot to deal with and if the public can take care of things themselves without causing problems that’s a better option. The slashing of his tires was understood and he took it as a lesson and abides by the rule now.
So basically what that guy was saying the cop vandalized his car
That’s what I thought too!
If someone take your spot its simple just put the snow back...
🤣
He'll ya, that's hard work
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Yessssssss!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Perfect way to get rid of that old couch.
Floyd R. Turbo 🤣🤣
😭😭😭
I love how they come pick up the peoples 'space savers' but they wont clear the snow from the street
M.Night207 they're garbage trucks!,not snow removal vehicles...
dan smolen Then they should invest less in garbage trucks and more in snow removal.
jachyra4 EXACTLY my point
jachyra4 what are they gonna do, pick up the car, remove the snaw, then neatly place the car back? No, the city clears the street not parking spaces. If they did clear parking then they would have to swerve in and out of the parking spaces to avoid cars. Its not worth the trouble when the spaces aren't gonna be used
thats why you clean The Streets on certain dates or at a certain time on a certain Day..any Cars left Will get towed away. or at least get a big ticket..
They do that here in Puerto Rico a lot! And it doesn't even snow here 😂
California: “Hold my Zima”
And what does that say about puerto rico ?
Finniest comment on this thread!!!
When I buy houses I always make sure it has off street parking.
good that "Ur MOM" keeps buying houses.. lol u clown

Agreed
Slashing tires is the dumbest thing to do if you're mad that someone is somewhere you don't want them to be. Now they can't leave and free "your" space up...
Yea, the first line of defense is to ask the person not to take the spot, if that doesn't work, obviously you have no legal leg to stand on, but you can turn the neighbors against that neighbor.
No because by then you already got a new spot and have been fuming mad while digging oyt 6 ft of thick snow
And they also have to pay for the tires.
You don't slash the tires, you touch the valves inappropriately until they get the message
I bet he never did it again Tho
Maybe the city should use just as much effort to remove the snow.
WHO IS PAYING FOR THAT? STUPID! I never complained after somebody used my spot. And I HAD TO DO IT EVERY DAY. ALL THE FAT PEOPLE SHOULD TRY IT! THE WOULD LOSE WEIGHT!
You sound like an able bodied young person who: 1.didn't pay someone to shovel the snow so you could drive your car, 2. is a young person who is not handicapped, 3. a person who simply doesn't understand the situation. BTW, I live in California and haven't lived in snow country since about 1940 so it's not my fight. Also, the city is paying workers to remove the space savers which seems to be a perverse use of city/taxpayer money.
WRONG I was in the 40 50 60 70 when I had to shovel my car out! Every day! 6 7 days a week!I am only 5.6 130 pound at that time. LIVING IN New York. Most people are so stupid! City cannot shovel every car out every time it snows!
Peter Sorensen But they can remove the snow where cars are gone. During the workday for example. There is machinery for that. But anyway what am i discussing about.. It’s your cities problem. I’ll just note to myself to never move to Boston.
I live in a decent neighborhood that actually plow the streets since it belongs to the city. Pretty smart. Putting signs on each side of the street to warn which side to park on a certain day so they can plow the other. Work smarter, not harder...
0:19 "How much time do we have?"😂
More like 0:18
Fun fact if you only slash three tires insurance won't cover it. They knew what they were doing. Nice.
Thanks so if I see that happen to me imma slash the 4th n say they all got slashed
What nonsense urban legend is this?
Hey just put a big pile of unwanted things and hey free dumping
Lol 😂
Isaiah Macias you'll get ticketed by city enforcement, and get a fee on your trash bill from your disposal company for not scheduling a big item pick up.
Most cities says you can not be in the same spot for more than 72 hours.
Organist2020 so where do you put the junk car when you want to park your normal car? Another parking spot?
Niya Blake the move thats why they put space savers
so he is saying cops slashed his tires? lol
He's saying cops too are people, aka soylent.
I'm pretty sure he's implying the lady who normally parks there did. "You took the ladies spot."
Not the cops.
I’m sure his tires got slashed again for saying that.
A Goat lady's*
I was thinking the same thing 🤣
I’m from south Boston and still to this day they are saving spots. Luckily I have a parking garage!
In Chicago we call it "dibs" and the city has never enforced it.
The problem is the lack of garages and driveways
No, too many cars per household.
And too many houses per acre.
The price for space in a big city is mind boggling.
1 car per person. Mother and father. Then you have a kid who hits 16 and they need a car lol. I mean you want 1 car per family?
Audio Stratus's Music Channel it’s the people to poor to get one
So... cops slashed his tires? Bostons roads aren't designed for cars.
DreamWave Dave No, someone else whose spot he took did.
My thoughts exactly 😂
@John Doe he said half his neighbors are cops. Good chance it was on of them. What’s the Mandela effect?
well the parking spaces are city property so the city has every right to remove the "space savers" as that space is in the street and not the personal property, but the city should try to get something set up to help remove the snow.
OOOOR... every lazy slob should just remove their snow thoroughly.
My neighbor and I would share a driveway, we both had keys to each others car and would move them out of the way if we happened to block the other in. Sometimes we'd just use each others car if we were just making a quick trip. It worked and kept us good neighbors for a long time.
Wow. That's pretty cool.
Well shouldn't the city take care of the snow then?
Ja-Kol Nikelai how?
They should, but they also need to give the residents fair warning about when these sweeps are going to happen when they do it.
....you people are so useless you can't do anything for yourself
Yes they should.
how about instead of picking up all of the parking space savers they shovel the snow into a truck and transport it out of the city to melt. You are using labor one way or another at least this way there would be more places to park, instead of forcing the citizens to take care of all snow removal.

You can't save a parking spot during any other weather event. You can't save a spot when it's raining or when it's sunny, but people seem to think that they can save a spot after a snow storm just because they dug their car out. You had to dig yourself out because you wanted to go somewhere. That doesn't mean that you get to park there when you get back.
The town should be spending more money to clean the snow faster and more.
id imagine the problem is that even if u plow the snow theres nowhere for the snow to go but into peoples front yards if they even have a front yard. so they most likely cant plow it like u would other streets. if thats the case then the city imo needs to back off and allow this type of behavior or at the very least every time u plow the street send the bill to the city for reimbursement.
G.O.D No G.O.D u might want to reread what i wrote. i clearly state at the end that the govt needs to get out of the way
Brian Y. yup I agree..I live In Chicago and we do the same...if you shovel your parking spot you earned it...its the city's fault...
***** theres a very good chance they cant plow those streets. look at how close the homes are to the road. there is no place for the snow to go. if thats the case then the city needs to back off
Brian Y. Where do they put it...its hard enough to clean the snow from the roads and the streets are so narrow...
No garage? Park in the front yard. No front yard? Why do you live there?
i know lol
Steven Morris city apartments
ehm, because they wanna live in the city....
Never been in Europe? Because most people park on the street, because the city makes sure they have parking spots and in the Netherlands they make sure that those spots are clear, no water, no snow (not even a centimeter) no nothing...
Been to Panama and Korea. Wrote Europe off when the migrants set sail. I like wearing my head.
Steven Morris the front yard Park in the living room
Who are they to hold a spot? They're public streets! First come, first served in my city.
mrknotthall then the city should be paying these people for snow removal
Lol I'll wait till you finish shoveling your spot, than when you leave I'll take it. Finders keepers XD na but in all honesty the city should actually clean up the snow.
So there was a 50% chance that your tires were slashed by cops 😂
I think if the city is worried about parking spots, then the city needs to deal with clearing the spots out on their dime and labor.
exactly
Minus the cars are in the way of blowing

@@neophobicnyctophile8264,
It is amazing how many people think that they are entitled to drive and park wherever and whenever they want.
Slashing his tires and no police report? Damn Boston is fucking awesome! Not!
Brett Johnson fuck Boston
People in the neighborhood take care of their own problems; they don't go running to John Law every time they need to wipe their nose!
I saw a lady once break out a very long garden hose. She started spraying the snow off the roof and then the windows, washing it down the sides on the street. She hosed that snow by the drivers door until it was pure pavement. She must have spent 15 mins letting that hose run. Her car looked brand new by the time she was done. The neighbors all called each other and watched her and laughed.
Everybody Gangsta until someone parks in ur driveway
the mayor should've assigned parking spots to each home owner then.. so when they do shovel out, no idiot can take the spot without the owner's permission.. Its bad enough when they get that much snow in the city without him interfering with what the community already does to handle the situation the best they can.. What he has done makes no sense at all..
yes you can. in California it is becoming more common for cities to restrict non-resident parking in residential areas to the residents. It is almost the norm in Sacramento. Big fine for violation.
They do a similar thing in the UK where certain roads will only allow parking for residents and they get a permit to allow for a visiters.
it's called public parking, you idiot
Yea the public owns the roads, sidewalks etc usually the first few feet from the street, at least in the US. States and cities can of course put restrictions on said laws though. Glad I live in Florida where we usually have a decent amount of room.
Then those residential streets better be 4 lanes wide.
Not a problem. If they have the money to send crews out to remove the stuff, why not just clear the damn snow from "their" streets? If the individuals have to do the work, they should have some ownership to the spot. This is an outrageous solution.
I wonder how well it's worked 4 years down the line 🤔
i see tons of space savers here in boston, i think they are allowed again. thats why i make sure to rent off the street parking because on street parking is never plowed correctly, even though they ticket you for parking during snow.
So the city would rather control the people while simultaneously putting unnecessary junk into the landfill. Stupid.
Thing is you Shovel your car out for 3 hrs snd then your neighbors park in your spot because they are lazy.
anthony lach yep. and now they're making the sanitation crew run around picking up shit that isn't trash.
anthony lach, doubt it, everywhere that is a spot there was a car. If your neighbor is taking your spot it's probably because he dug his out and someone took where he was parked. Like pubic parking normally works. Someone leaves and someone takes it as it becomes available
Pumpkin King XXIII you must live in the suburbs lol.
anthony lach, not exactly, I live in a town house in Fort Worth but we have space. I lived in beacon hill for 2 years in the 90s. There is not enough cash in the word to get me to move back. Walking up the hill every day then 3 flights of stairs. Fuck that. Idiots trying to parallel park and using your car a bumper to get out.
Haha nope. Most of my neighbors are too lazy to get off their asses and shovel. And I just live in South Central Pennsylvania. That's why, when we had our big snow this year, I and several other of my non-lazy neighbors, refused to shovel parking spots. We're not gonna bust our asses, for lazy assholes to take just park their without shoveling out one of their own or helping the neighborhood as a whole shovel.
*I dont live there and i agree with the homeowners.*
Night Rider wow nobody cares
savage lol
The Last Word classy 5th grade insult lol
David K ikr
The Last Word I do. So you just lied.
If the city doesn't let you use space savers just block the road with your car until you clean a new space
The road is the city's property not the owner of the house or renter of the house. So just because they dug their car out of the snow does not mean they own that spot.
Margaret Long
So what? They dug that spot for the city for free then, that’s wrong.
42luke roblox I’ve never lived in a city that paid its citizens to shovel out their own cars, or clear a spot to park. So I guess every city is wronging it’s people
So the mayor decided to do away with the communities simple, and effective way to solve what looks to be a serious problem, and didn't provide any alternative solution. How did he get elected?
This is only an effective solution for people who already have a spot, what about other people who are trying to park on a public street?
They bring a shovel and clear a spot themselves
2 words_SANCTUARY CITY!
@@rerollyadice4224 Take the bus. Works just fine.
Neophobic Nyctophile Tell that to the people wasting hours digging out their cars. Everybody needs a parking spot, these people were just parked during a storm.
good on the mayor for taking charge.
In 2020 you can hire a homeless guy to sit at the parking space coughing nonstop.
I’m glad I don’t live in Boston lol
if the city government would fucking clear the snow....
Raymond Garlick WHY DONT YOU DO YOUR PART AND HELP YOUR CITY. INSTEAD YOU SIT ON YOUR ASS AND BITCH.
How can you clear snow around parked vehicles?
Politicians are all talk Im bout that action hmmm, volunteer at soup kitchen, highway clean ups, tend the park, and a few other things. Maybe toss in protesting the toxic water in my city, ummm, another against Monsanto and gmos. Sierra Club??? Gee, sorry to not be involved enough, but I have to be at the VA hospital once a week for physical therapy....
So just what have you done lately?
04smallmj You create an ordinance in winter months for parking. Odd days you park on the side of the street. reference to addresses. And even days on the even side. Ticket or tow anyone who doesn't follow. Problem solved.
04smallmj I'll loan you a shovel, but why would anyone living in snow country not have one?? Oh, I forgot, they rely on someone else to do for them. Either lazy or just plain suffering from a huge sense of entitlement?????

Just buy a flatbed tow truck to park your car on take the car off leave the truck behind :D
MusketeerinFlorida maybe throw down a box of nails and use a big magnet to pick them back up later?
That's pretty hard to do when there's another car parked right behind your truck.
Many of the houses in Boston were built long before every one had a car, back in the horse and buggy days. That's why parking cars is so difficult in those areas. Add a snow storm ind the street becomes a cluster fuck. Not only do the residents of the street fight for space, you have out of towners also trying to park any where they can find an open spot. It's a catchers catch can situation. If you're caught in the wrong spot at the wrong time, expect to find damage to your car when you come back. Or some one will come out of one of the houses with a baseball bat aiming to crack your skull open because you took his spot.
SpiritBear12 " Or some one will come out of one of the houses with a baseball bat aiming to crack your skull open because you took his spot."
Ha,ha! I'd LOVE to see some yankee do that down here in Dixie, they'd get their head blown off. However, in that liberal wasteland, 'bat boy' can feel safe to be the bully.
“Oh sorry honey, we have to spend another 30 min searching for a space, someone put a light plastic bin there. We can’t pass.”
If I shoveled out the spot and it's mine don't dare park there or I'll thrash your car
Why the mayor don't send the crue to clean the snow and clear some space for people to park?
those people do know that's a city street! the residents own nothing!! you can't be mad that the city is getting rid of spot saving.
it belongs to everyone since everyone directly or indirectly pays for it
Yeah but not everyone shovels it man
renge99O9 everyone paid for those streets. If you want to own the street build it yourself, or pay for it ALL by yourself.
renge99O9 you’re stupid, I agreed with what you said and I’m a democrat so don’t start throwing politics into this you idiot
BurnTrees no thats not how taxes work, you pay the government, and then it becomes the government's money then they use it and the cycle continues
shouldn't those ppl be fined for littering, if the placeholders are being treated as trash? it won't be long untill ppl start paying homeless to sit there and hold their parking spots...
I swear I thought this was the onion for a second
I don't think this is the right way too go about this.
It is clearly solving a problem.
Maybe the city should sell "official space savers" instead, and mandate the hours they can be used.
By official space saver do you mean a garage parking space? I've had a space for over 20 years and it's worth every dollar.
This is dumb some offense. Don't say the first thing that comes to mind, think about it for a second
This is why I drive a 4X4. Who needs to shovel if you can just drive out? And if no one else shovels it out, you just back right in again.
Carl Bruschnig, Jr would you let the car heat up with the snow on it or pull out and then let it heat up?
It's a public street. If there's a free spot, you should be able to take it. Park in your driveway that you cleared out. You choose to live there where it snows, you have to deal with it.
i would understand if the home came with driveways but as you can see these usually dont since they are right next to each other, so they should be entitled to atleast one car length spot
Martin Gomez
Oh my god, you actually brought out the word, entitlement. That changes nothing. It's an public Street. Now if the city changed the rules and assigned 1 spot for each house. It's painted whatever color with a house number that the city did. I would support that.
You did move into a location with no private parking. Who's fault is that? Yours!!!
So don't buy or rent a house with no driveway if you have a car. Idiotic
I live in texas and have 2acres and can park 6 cars in my driveway and im sure my house cost a fraction of what housing costs in boston.
And the likelihood that you'll be killed in a firearm incident is significantly greater.
@Roger Smith,
Because, per the CDC, Massachusetts's rate of firearms-related deaths is significantly lower than Texas's.
If the street is public property, you choose the dig out the car and make it available for someone else. If you don't want to loose the spot, don't move the car.
i can see why they want to get rid of it but if parking is that scarce then what so you expect people to do, put a no parking ban on road for a day to clear the roads and you would have that problem, if i have to shovel that much snow to get my car out i sure would save it to
TAKE. THE. BUS. You don't' have the right to own a car.
*Parks on one of the snow "hills"before realising there is a car in there*
I live in Chicago and as someone who wakes up at 4:30am to go to work, I happily pay my $170 garage covered parking fee every month. You already have problems looking for parking in the city, then in winter every curbside space becomes a premium due to plowing, no parking when it snows 2 inches, the endless mounts and the dibs. If you want a car just work harder and garage it.
These are public parking spots...no one "owns" a spot, even if they cleared the snow. If you want a private spot, go buy or rent a private space. "Saving" spots is inefficient because then there will always be open spots unable to be utilized until that person comes back. If you think about it, during a snow storm, everyone had to dig their car out of a spot so it evens out anyway.
At least in San Francisco you don't have to shovel snow from their crowded streets. Doesn't make finding a place to park any more fun though.
So glad I have a garage, I never ever shoveled the street in front of my house
Why is this story about the mayor "cracking down" on place savors rather then the city failing to removed the snow?
I love the awkwardness at the end. "From Southy, from Southy"
"Half my neighbors are cops; they're above the law, you know!"
Why doesn't the city clear the snow if they care so much.
Ahhhh, now I know where to go if I need some fold up chairs for parties or family get togethers. Just drive an hour down the road to Boston during the winter and grab as many as I need.
Slashed tires? And that’s why I am happy to live in the desert where people are actually nice to each other.
Can't see why people live in places like that. Like sardines in a can.
cant see why people live in bumfuck middle of nowhere middle of the u.s. flyover country
Jacob Veselits more freedom in remote areas. your freedom ends where others begins remember? the farther away your neighbors are, the more freedom you have.
why not send a dump truck to clear the snow instead of the bin lorry????
They run out of places to dump the snow once it's in the truck, and the snow removal budget is underfunded so they don't have enough melters. Really it's a problem the city created for itself, and for years they were happy to step back and let residents solve it for them. But a few too many people have gotten their jaws knocked off in fights over space savers, so now Mayor Marty is feeling compelled to do something.
in my city (fargo)in the winter, parking is you park on a street one night then you park on a avenue the next ,and so forth so the city can clear the snow and if your parked where you shouldn't be it's a ticket .works pretty well and all our streets are plowed
If it took me two hours to clean a spot for my car and someone who didn’t do a dam thing parks there then there’s a problem
Maybe if the city spent more time cleaning up the snow people wouldn’t need space savors 🤔🤔🤔
Maybe people should recognize that no one has a right to drive or park on public roads, and that even if you shovel out a parking space, you don't own it.
it's kinda hard for a snow plow to remove snow along the curb when cars are parked there
"How much time do we have?" in the background
Michael Burke not much....
It’s hard enough trying to park in southie without snow. I can’t imagine living there during a bad winter
In cicero IL, we clean half the block so that we can park without worries, the space extra if for whom even wants it. We get along with our neighbors
Did that last anchor say "the hood"?😂😂😂😂
I laughed
i cringed; he had to keep repeating it because it didnt land..
I wish they would do this in my neighborhood. All my neighbors are assholes, they steal con edison cones and put them on a spot infront their house. There's these specific neighbors I hate most. They live one house away and have one of the few driveways on my block, but they dont use it ever, they have a big chruch van and 3 other cars and they asshole park with the church van so that later they can move it and park their other cars. If they just used their drive way there would easily be at least 5 more parking spots on the whole block, and that's not an exhagerration, they always take up extra space.
Mr.Grinch That's illegal they can't do that, I have neighbors like that and reported them for that and cought them, they never did it again.
Salvador Hernandez I wish, my family hs bad luck though. Everything goes down on us. Someone reported us for loud noises construction noises and a city inspector came to see the house. We weren't doing anything noisy. Also we have to recycle where I live and my neighbors(don't know who specifically) would be lazy and leave there mixed trash and recycle on our sidewalk and we always got the ticket. I noticed everyone else half asses their recycle too. I can only guess someone wants us out of the neighborhood

What kind of mad man slashes 3 tires??
You'd do 1 or all 4, maybe 2 if it's like a drive-by slashing on one side of the car, but 3 is just insane.
In my country, its the citys duty to clear the snow off the streets and transport it elsewhere to make sure the streets have enough parking spots.
"If ye clean the spot - then that's what ye got."
-question being is it yours.
The bottom line is this: If you're parking on the street, the space doesn't belong to you. I sympathize with the fact that you spent a lot of time clearing the space so you could get out, but that's only because you had to clear the space to get out anyway. Otherwise you could have just left the car parked there until the snow melted.
This is an old South Philly trick. North Jersey too (Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth, Hoboken, etc.). Remove those cones/lawnchairs at your own risk. Come back to find your car keyed up and your tires slashed.
Part of the problem is that when idiots dig out their cars, instead of taking the minimal extra effort to throw the snow over the sidewalk, they simply pile it up into mounds on the street and make more parking spots unavailable.
Homeowners and businesses can get cited for not clearing the sidewalks directly in front of their home/business. So, they just throw it back on the curb/street.
I live in WI, & in my city, it’s illegal to park on the street overnight from Nov-April. They also have parking lots downtown, for residents who live above the stores on the main downtown street.
Why can't they salt the streets to melt the snow while picking up trash.
*How does digging out a spot one time entitle you to own the spot forever??*
Hey, if you break your back shoveling a ton of snow in front of your house for two hours, then you deserve to be able to park there *IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE* as long as there is snow on the ground! Some people just clean their car off and shovel just enough to get their car out and then take their neighbors nice clean spot when then get back home...leaving their neighbor no place to park! And then sometimes, you get one snowstorm after another and you can dig out for days, however long it last for, *YOU DESERVE THAT SPOT*
@@oliasofsunhillow7116 If it is on a public street it cannot be reserved for one car. Unless the car owner makes provision for a reserved space as what happens in some gated private developments then this system is nonsense.

Why doesn’t the mayor look at having the snow cleared for everyone’s safety rather than taking the space savers!!
I see a great way to get rid of old chemicals and old furniture
If you don't like the snow, move out of boston. I don't care if you did dig out your car, the snow is something you put up with living in the city of boston. So if every neighbor dung out their own car then every person is entitled to every spot because every cleaned out at least one spot. People need to act more mature.
i kind of get it tho... you shovel the spot out and now you have to park 5 blocks away just to get home, so some lazy ass can just take it!!
This is the government saying you have no right to think for yourself.
In Maryland, for example, local government let residents know that they will remove all snow on sides of street after they've dug out their cars and moved them. No parking problem.
So a cop slashed your tires?
