If you read the general internet it's all mobbed up guys stealing cars from law-abiding single mothers for no reason at all but then again if I believed the general public about parking violation enforcement here in germany I'd come to the conclusion they're the new jews.

So how bad is that whole privatized towing / enforcement thing, really? Is there an actual problem beyond "it's a private company" or is it mostly carbrain tears?

This isn't a fabricated concern. Our bike lanes are regularly blocked by cars. If you lower the price of blocking the bike lane to $0, people will do that more. The poorest people, by the way, don't have cars and are also inconvenienced by cars on the crosswalk, bike lane and sidewalk. But fuck them, right?
