Towing around the corner in a high density area like Uptown may not be feasible.  
However, towing
around the corner when possible would reflect a lot of compassion for average people.  
Great
idea!!  Better set up a 'Dude, where's my car?' hotline first.

Being able to read a sign, as another poster mentioned, is apparently not a skill 
expected of the
citizenry anymore.  At least, that's what the legislators that passed conceal and 
carry have
decided.
