Currently, there is a law in the City that says you cannot park a vehicle on the city streets for more than 72 hours in one spot. The requirement is that your vehicle must move at least 1 mile after each 72 hour period it is parked on an unrestricted city street. A Parking enforcement officer would mark a car and return three days later to see if it was still there. Well, how did parking enforcement officers know that the car hadn't actually moved and reparked during their absence? This was movement(or not) was confirmed by checking the mileage that was prominently displayed on the dashboard in the form of the odometer. I say "was" for a reason...See, yesterday, a court ruling was delivered that said this ordinance was no longer legal as there was really no way to prove a vehicle had or hadn't moved the mile. So, basically, the Cit has no legal ordinance to enforce - right now - parking on City streets for more than 72 hours. So, park away - for now, no one is going to ticket or tow you (for that specific violation of parking over 72 hours). Who knows when a new law will be adopted that can be enforced, but word is, right now, no "over 72 hour parking" tickets are being issued.
As always, though, park at your own risk!

YOUR CAR WILL BE TOWED with NO WARNING
Yesterday, December 5, 2006, my car was towed by A T S Northeast Tow Inc., 2010 N Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90065 (323) 342-0342.
The guy said that "one of your nice neighbors probably called it in". Although no ticket was issued, the car was towed because the tire was marked and was shown not to have been driven in 72 hours.
