So it appears that in at least one city, unlike Toronto, officials finally admit the truth about parking tickets. In San Francisco “parking tickets” are intended to raise as much money as quickly as possible. Parking officers have been instructed to ticket, ticket ticket without regard to anything else. The budget is in crisis and all that matters is grabbing dough as quickly as possible. Parking? Phooey. The only goal is to get money out of anybody who happens to be driving a car or maybe is even standing near one. Parking tickets in San Francisco are $65 incidentally. Of course, in Toronto, the tattered charade goes on that parking tickets are about parking.
