Street Cleaning Warning Tickets Issued Instead of Towing
“Can you tell me why this car and two others were only ticketed and not towed during street cleaning today in the North End on ninth street? I had to move my car to make sure I was not towed yet three cars have tickets and no tow what’s up with that”

Find the 311 call regarding cars not being towed appalling.. That attitude that sounds like an immature entitled resident. Poor me, I had to move my car to avoid being towed and these people only received a ticket. Give me a break, you should be ecstatic that your neighbor’s cars weren’t towed instead of complaining about being inconvenienced.
It’s a sin that people use 311 to moan and complain about stuff like this. What do you want the mayor to do on cross st? Invite the person to his house?
Someone is upset that their neighbor did not get towed? Give me a break!!
The people in this neighborhood are truly insane. I don’t know what happened.
The bigger issue is that cars were ticketed and street cleaning didn’t happen. Hull, Snow Hill, Prince.
Maybe the streets would have been cleaned if people moved their cars.
The common sense on some people baffles me.
If the 311 caller is so concercerned about the homeless person on Cross St then do something meaningful. Invite them to your apartment for a dinner. Start a fundraiser. Do something other than playing with your phone.
Don’t you think that the homeless situation is the responsibility of the Mayor and the city? No one should be living on the streets. If was a dog or a puppy there would be more of an outrage.
The city has resources for the homeless and addicted. If you think the mayor has the ability to get every homeless person off the street then you are dillusional.
Once again maybe the 311 caller should put down the phone and actually offer the homeless person assistance.
See. If there were a Starbucks there the homeless could go there.🙂
yes but it’s the ” Gate Way” of the North End. Where are all the “concerned” people now ??
