Greenpoint's Growing Taxi Graveyard

  "When street cleaning ends at 1:00 p.m. dispatchers, mechanics, and body men pitch in to help Kiouvas get all of the cabs back onto the street—quickly, before neighbors' cars fill in." That's just evil. Rushing out to fill public parking spots. I feel sorry for any retail business in the area who's customers are now blocked out by this yellow tide filling the street. Nobody likes parking meters, but this is why they were invented.

  > Asked if he's tried to rent a second lot for his empty cabs, Kodogiannis said he hasn't been able to find one within walking distance. If only there were some technology by which he could travel a greater distance quickly - perhaps something with wheels, or a conveyance of some kind that could meet him at a more remote lot, and carry him back to the dispatcher's office. Sarcasm aside, here is a business dependent upon the common good of free curb-side parking, and saying, in effect, that they do not use the transportation method they provide to others to meet their own needs.
