That vehicle shouldn't have been parked there. It's not like there isn't probably stripes painted on the road, and signs right out in the open to tell the vehicle owners that. They could have easily moved that truck somewhere else and not have been such a PIA to the dutiful servants attempting to assist the city's motorists you know.

yeah....isn't it well-known in all cities to NOT park on the streets during certain times of the year between certain hours for snow clearing?
looks like everyone on that fucking street didn't get the memo.

The stories my friends have in coming back up here from NYC are horrendous. People have been abandoning cars in the middle of the street, on the BQE, and in the middle lane of Ocean Parkway. There are double-parked cars snowed in, and plows cant get through the narrow side-streets because of them. I have a coworker who has been stuck in Brooklyn for 2 days now because a plow went around a car thats blocking him.

I've heard of strangers, and acquaintances crashing at peoples homes on short, or no notice. Ambulances cant get anywhere, and people have died from it. Other coworkers have altogether skipped out on weddings of friends in the city, and it just didn't have to be like this. Word on the street is that this is a concentrated effort of unions to fuck around with Bloomberg, and make him look like an asshat, and with only 2 feet of snow to deal with, I believe it. Plow routes are determined months in advance, and organized down to the street level.

It was probably the guys own truck. He'll probably sue the city for a new one because, he was on duty when he wrecked it.
