20 years ago I was in NYC rather often with a tractor trailer.

Illegal parked cars, more than one driver was instructed by the NYPD to run over the illegally parked car when they could not make corners because of the car/cars.

If that was a snow emergency route, the cars should have been off the street.
And the owners probably don't have a leg to stand on.

I dont know, but something to consider is that it is pointed forward but parked on the wrong side, could be considered illegally parked still pretty ****ed up though, but like midwest said, another reason why i wont live in the city and dont have to worry about it

This could be a one way street ,I am sure there is a lot of one ways in NY and we don,t know the real story the owner of that van could have gotten a notice to move we don,t know but regardless that was pretty stupid on the tow trucks part and the city operator if I was the tow truck operator I would not be pulling with the truck I would use the winch on the boom and pulled from another angle or tried to square rig the cable to pull the machine away from that van, LOL what makes me really laugh is the way the operator drags his bucket on that van HA HA HA!!

I'm south of ya in Ma... Scituate Ma to be exact. If you watched the news at all you may have heard about us getting hammered by the storm. Lots of coastal flooding and several houses caught fire from flooding/electrical issues....Story here
Luckily, I'm far enough away from the coast that I didn't have a flooded house or a fire.

My PSD is unfortunately not in the garage... and my black truck is white from all the road salt from 100 mile round trip ride into work every day...

Where would you move your car to? Sounds like everything is still gumed up out that way.

Parked car

Looks like they might have damaged the car parked in front of the Explorer as well - either by pulling the Explorer into it, or by the tow truck sliding over into it.

Most people in NYC live in Hi-Rise apartments. so since they dont have driveways or garages just what the heck are they supposed to do? I cant believe it. those cars parked on the street look prety snowed in. its not as if the owners could hop in and move them. and if youre driving a front loader like that doesnt it make sense to plow right up the center of the street first before trying to get close to the curb? and where did they get that wrecker driver? what a jacka$$.
