Do you have an inkling of how much money they save by having these new meters, think into it.
1) meter maids dont need to collect from 10 meters on 1 block. Just take out the money from each meter. Times that by hundreds of blocks.
2) No one can park on anyone elses left over meter time.
3)Chances are you put in more money than you actually park, there is a lot of overlapping being paid. The old meters could make only a limited amount per day, only as many hours as there are.
It sounds like this is petty money, “how much do u make from quarters”, but just think of ALL the blocks, even quarters add up!
Our taxes will probably go down now 😉
