I'm not the biggest fan of parking tickets, either, but there are other things to consider sometimes. A friend of mine went DT a few weeks ago for a bday party on a Tuesday night, got wrecked, and left his truck in a lot on 10th Ave. The next day I drove him there, and then he bitched that he got some expensive ticket. Well duh, it's a small DT parking lot in a prime area. They're missing out on sweet sweet day rates because your big red dildo is parked there, unpaid.

So what's fair there? I don't know what he paid to park after 6pm, but you better believe the rate went way up after 6am. It's how they make money. Property taxes on DT real estate is expensive. They sure don't pay the bills charging 0 or 2 or 5 dollars for evening and night time parking.
