I hear ya, but since their only other option is to tow them, I think the car owners appreciate having as much warning as possible.

My question, actually, is -- have you noticed that all of the "no parking" signs they put up were taped in such a way that the word "parking" was completely obscured?....

*snerk* From personal experience, I can tell you that even if they put up the most perfect signs ever, there's always going to be some idiot that doesn't read them. So no matter what, we either have a megaphone, or someone screaming about how "the muthafuggas towed my car, man!"

Fortunately, they're resurfacing the street, and that seems to be going pretty quickly -- they got 3/4 of my block done within a day. So you may have only a day or two to cope before they move out of earshot.

I heard about an apartment for rent on Fulton and Cambridge for DIRT CHEAP (2 bedroom)...I am beginning to think it has to do witht he construction.
