Some residents whose vehicles were towed complained that the $200 cost to get a vehicle out of the tow yard is a huge strain on the finances of those with fixed or low incomes.
Roman Robles, a spokesperson for the El Paso Housing Authority, told ABC-7 that the requirement for all cars to have a parking permit has been in effect for a decade. The agency hadn t towed any violator vehicles for about a year during the Covid-19 pandemic but is now restarting enforcement efforts.
