About flippin' time - towing cars at LAX
I've been hearing a lot about the city government being short on cash and have seen city employees at the airport lose incidental perks due to budget cuts.
Currently, parking in one of the onsite parking garages costs a maximum of $30/day and I think the first hour is $3.
Why would it take 9 months for the city to tow an abandoned car out of one of these garages? Especially if it was P-3 or P-4 which more often than not serve TBIT. That space could have easily pulled in $60 a day.
The abandoned car in question, which was towed last week, had already had its plates removed and a snowdrift of parking tickets on the windshield. There was no question this thing was abandoned.
