Description
I saw this discussed here before. THIS is a perfect example of Ansonia's fake and ineffective "street parking ban" during snow storms. I was visiting a friend tonight and this picture says it all.
I had to stop for almost a minute in the road. WHY? Because the car pictured is trying to back into a snow filled parking space on the street. The driver spins and spins and has to make several attempts to shove their car into a snow packed space on the side of Vine Street.
WHY? Because ONCE AGAIN Ansonia didn't enforce it's parking ban during a snow storm so the streets are not properly cleared by the plows and now there is a mess everywhere. You can barely pass down some streets in this area because parked cars, which were NOT supposed to be parked on the street during a snow storm, prevented the town crew from removing snow creating roads that are not safe. No enforcement (again!), no warnings put on cars (again!) and no towing (again!)
This photo and story has been sent to Channel 3, 8, 30 and all major newspapers. Maybe THEY can ask the administration in Ansonia why not enforcing the law, leaving streets full of snow and risking accidents for law abiding citizens trying to drive after a storm is OK.

The rental and subsidized interests are only expected to grow TEN-FOLD as existing homeowners give into the rental income aspect thus this original problem of CLOGING ANSONIA'S STREETS and the 2 to 6 family tenant structures existing on these streets. I did the same to reap the benefit because the city took no action on a industrial mess 1/2 mile from my home which many of my neighbors were tired of looking at. Everyone in these tenant assigned homes owns a car today. Many of these homes have a 1 bedroom apartment with 4 sleeping in the same bedroom. This is not to mention all of the undesirable lifestyles coming in droves with sociological problems for the sole reason Ansonia still offers an affordable rental base and has local mental support offices conveniently located. Unfortunately Ansonia still has all of its sins still staring the public dead in their face from as far back as late 70’s and early 80s when they should have been corrected.
