no physical park meters in the streets?? can they even enforce parking fees then? like, I understand private companies doing such bullshit, but not public entities

Reminds me of the episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia where they pick up people in the “Paddy’s Wagon” and Dennis forces them to use a painfully overblown app just to buy a couple of beers. It seems to have cooled off a bit but the rush for every little business to have its own app reminds me how every pizzeria and dry cleaner felt the need to have a website and social media presence.
I have 3 goddamn parking apps I have to keep on my phone, each with its own account, just so I can park in various cities when I travel. I’m sure my data is 100% secure too…

Wait until you find out that some cities sold or leased parking rights to private companies.

The final episode of the latest season goes harder on this issue. This time the turns have tabled though.
