As a resident of Chicago it’s not about snow ❄️ we have no snow the signs says snow. It’s 50 degrees and no snow. But they love to oppress people here. They will tow and boot these people cars and have no remorse. This is why the people act like they do. Pain is inflicted on them so their demeanor is I gotta get my lick back and hurt others because they did it to me. I can only speak about what I know and what I see.
In Illinois if you don’t claim a car after 30 it becomes property of the towing company or civil entity. If you owe on the car you get stuck with the loan.
I remember when I was a kid the city workers use to hand us a stack of the orange papers With the black writing to go around and put them on the cars. They would give us a couple of dollars..
I kinda understand why the City put that law in effect. I lived through the Blizzard of ‘79 and the city was, basically, caught with their pants down as far as clearing the main arterial streets was concerned. Nobody saw that snowstorm coming and nobody knew how bad it would become.
That is incredible like once in a decade or two type of blizzard I only moved to Chicago in 2005 almost got stuck in the 2011 blizzard.@@rambojambone4586
People that don’t follow the rules in Chicago always cry when they get caught. But they also rarely get caught. 😢 This is not exactly new and it keeps the city running when there is snow!
The City (and CPS and the State of Illinois) are spending (money we don't have) like "drunken sailors" and borrowing in the Municipal Bond Markets stacking up debt endlessly. Revenue is needed and the streets need to be cleared efficiently. You can wish and hope for leniency, but hope is not a plan!
Seriously? It’s literally 4 hours a day. Just don’t freaking park there. I guarantee you that it will not kill you. Wait, is this Chicago? Ok, with your crime, I can’t guarantee that. But still, you don’t want a ticket or to get towed, don’t park there. Look for the signs around there before you leave your car anywhere. I mean dang. I haven’t had 1 parking ticket in my life and have been driving 26 years. Not even one. Grow up and don’t blame the ticket writer. Blame yourself for parking where you shouldn’t. Maybe your city wouldn’t be falling apart if you took a little accountability for your actions. Seriously? Since 1980 and still you haven’t learned not to park there? That’s kind of sad.
I used to be against this revenue generating scheme of towing when there is no snow but now, TOW BABY TOW Chicago needs the revenue to support the illegal aliens!
Get off your high horse. Many folks don’t think abt those GD signs on warm or mild snow-less days like today, December 1, when the signs go into effect. Also, there are many tourists and visitors that get caught up in this scam. It’s archaic & punitive for no legitimate reason.

If fraud by the city and they definitely should be sued immediately
Should only go into effect if it's snowing!!!!
This is legal theft. Update the laws already. Most people are barely making it from paycheck to paycheck they don't have tow money.
“We unique” = he means corrupt 😒
It's such a money grab. And if the city wasn't making enough money from the tows, they'd find another way to screw people over.
The city needs the revenue. Just admit it.
Yes, it's all about the money.
Very true, if anything just change it to Jan 1.
chicago hates it's residents... moving illegals in and now that?? damn i would never dream of going there😂😂😂
Actually you don't know what you're talking about so focus on your own city weirdo
At the end of the day, we’re all illegals……..
MONEY TRAP
No Parking: --> 3AM - 7AM Dec 1 - Apr 1 When snopw over 2"
More revenue for Chicago!
Sounds like an easy way to rob you of a couple hundred dollars
No other city does this but Chicago
“So I parked in front of a fireplug or over a crosswalk, blocking an alley or a bus stop? I was just running in!”
You kidding. They get free cars by doing this, if you don't collect it in time they get to claim it
They don't get free cars, they get money, ppl are able to get their cars back
In Illinois if you don’t claim a car after 30 it becomes property of the towing company or civil entity. If you owe on the car you get stuck with the loan.
It's about revenue and to pay police case settlements.

Some stories are more pointless than others.
It's definitely legitimately fraud by every mean possible by stating only two in two inches and you tow in ño inches it's fraud and autotheft
NO, BUT IT'S ABOUT MONEY AND EXTRA REVENUE, JUST LIKE THE RED LIGHT AND SPEED CAMERAS! CHICAGO AKA "CROOK COUNTY" THE SPIRIT OF CAPONE STILL LIVES.
You can sue, basically if there’s no snow 🤷🏽♂️ the sign even says, “ when snow is over 2 inches’’
It says OR when there's snow
If the tow truck don't take it the carjackers definitely will-Brandon "buckwheat' Johnson.....
It is not about snow duh !!!!! It is about money !!!!!

That is why the city needs to make money in those areas. I will no longer visit that area to learn what they are doing.
December 1 THROUGH April 1 . It doesn’t end on April 1. The city officials will be laughing all the way to the bank on April Fool’s Day!👺💰
Money!!!!
If they can enforce such a crazy law, then WHY can't they do something about the crime, murders, smash and grabs, street crime, and gang violence?
1:38 Anyone know what street is it ?
That picture is from the 1967 blizzard. We stayed home a couple of days. 27 inches.

Where are the people supposed to park?
Not unique not different ! Just a huge cash cow !!!
THATS CRAZY WE LOVE IT HERE IN NYC WHEN IT SNOWS WE GET TO PARK ANYWHERE EVEN ON THE SIDEWALKS LMFAOOO NEVER GO TO CHICAGO
Give a first reminder .
Absolutely horrible, so glad that I park in a garage
I remember the storm of 67!
It needs to be amended
So the current mayor needs to change this, but Chicago wants money
Our new mayor is a Communist. He needs truckloads of bucks to buy votes.
They need to get rid of the city sticker too....what is the purpose of it
What's The Address of The Impound Lot?
701 N. Sacramento
10301 S. Doty Ave
It's all about greed.
Jermont looks good!
Read your neighborhood parking signs not that hard its City & State Law since 1980's Law will be staying because City is Broke needs money 💰
I LOVE THIS

Because they can!
Money grab so sad.
Every one wants to work for the government because you just enjoy big salaries ( money coming from us ) home owners pick up the tab
Jane Byrne, a democrat put this in policy and democrats since then has not removed it.
💵💵💵💵 that’s it baby
this aint rocket science. no parking means no parking; how is this shocking. things should change though
Its crook county.
Slush fund
Money maker .
Watch where you park plain and simple
Do u live in Chicago
@@rondas7772 yes I do
@@TheloniousJackson do u really?? Bcz u know this is nonsense right
@@rondas7772 it’s what it is… nothing we can do about it
@@TheloniousJacksonsad but true
Democrat policies in hand.
The parking ban is fine, just only implement it when snow is here! It's simple!

You might be handicapped
Yep…….like moving by an airport and complaining!
@@Gfysimpletons I know, right.
People need too read the signs and not park there
You must not live here. Believe me, there’s no place to park.
