I cannot believe this is what people get hit with over a parking spot. I came out excited for my first DJ gig ever, parked where it said 2 hour customer parking only, and then suddenly my car was gone. Now I am stranded with no car, trying to figure out how anybody is supposed to come up with $635 just to get their own car back.

This is bigger than one horrible day. If this can happen to me while I am just trying to work and build something for myself, it can happen to anybody. One confusing sign, one aggressive tow, one impossible fee, and now somebody cannot get home, cannot get to work, cannot pick up their kids, cannot do anything. That is not accountability. That is punishment that can throw somebody's whole life off.

I am calling on city leaders to cap towing and impound fees and require towing companies to show real proof before they remove a legally parked or questionably parked car. If a sign says customer parking, there needs to be a fair standard, clear evidence, and a real process before someone's transportation gets taken. Nobody should be forced to pay hundreds of dollars first and ask questions later.

If you are tired of people getting trapped by towing fees they cannot afford, please sign this petition. I do not want anybody else to be left stranded, stressed out, and desperate over something like this. We need a system that is fair, transparent, and not built to hit people with a $635 crisis out of nowhere.
