Connecticut allows towing companies to sell some people’s cars after just 15 days — one of the shortest windows in the country.

The sales have particularly affected low-income people, who have lost jobs after they were unable to get their cars back.

As a New Hampshire resident, I can tell you a car is a liability/burden during snowstorms. If you happen to be in hospital, or otherwise engaged- such as working- when the snowstorm hits, you get your car towed. Then the local municipalities just keep raising their towing fines instead of opening new parking lot locations for snowstorms.

You have to get up at 7 AM, regardless of your work schedule, and walk all the way down to the designated lot to retrieve your car. It's gross.
