Shoveling equity

THE STREETS of Boston belong to everyone - so speaketh a mayor who has a driveway and probably someone to shovel it for him.

Instead of sending crews out to get rid of chairs, etc. ("Some dig in for spots they dug out," Page B1, Dec. 27), the city should send crews out to shovel the walls of snow between cars and the piles left by plows that are 2 feet from curbs and corners. Right now parking spaces should belong to those who spent three to five hours shoveling them.
