KTRK Political Blog: City tows legally parked vehicles

KTRK-13's Miya Shay reports that under Houston's parking laws, metered parking spots may actually be "rented" by citizens for the price of $11.50 per day. Interestingly, if a car is parked legally in a "rented" parking spot when the rental time begins, the meter is bagged and the car may be towed.

This isn't just a hypothetical. It happened downtown Tuesday, and Shay has posted photos of cars being towed on her blog.

That's ridiculous.

Here's hoping that Parking Management Busybody Liliana Rambo reads Shay's blog, and is already working to resolve what must be an infuriating situation for the poor people whose legally parked cars were towed.
