I read a stat a while back that said SF receives more money each year in parking violation fines than they collect in city taxes.

Oh man, don't get me started on this one. I have managed to be violation free for years and years....but I once had a metermaid get into her car roll up the windows and call for back up when I tried to convince her not to have my car towed.

The truely irritating thing is that if you need them to do something you can't get them to do it. I had a car parked in front of my studio for six months....it's a two hour maximum spot. Not one ticket appeared. I called once a week for three months about that car. One day when I was ranting to one of my clients about it, he says, "You didn't grow up in the city did you?" I said, "What does that have to do with it?" He says, "In the ghetto if you want the city to remove an abandoned vehicle you just set it on fire." I'm like, "Dude.....I own the house it's in front of."

I have to tell you though, the thought crossed my mind more than once.
