+t 1) this would disproportionately harm low income folks the most who already live in <br />neighborhoods in dire need of more housing development <br />+t 2. The city is already threatening to reduce fire and police. Use the money to keep first <br />responders. <br />+t 2 unclear if parking tickets would actually fund officers. That's a lot of tickets per day. Is it <br />really the case that police don't respond to repeated requests for enforcement? <br />+t 1 1 live in a neighborhood w/o driveways only alleys.

If <br />they're not causing problems then who cares. <br />+t 1. Firstly, ticket revenue would likely not pay for the entirety of the wages benefits and <br />overhead of the city employee(s) needed to do this job. Secondly, I agree that this will affect <br />those least likely to afford a ticket since the target rich problem areas are generally the multi <br />unit neighborhoods. Thirdly, if there are "serious" parking issues like blocking a driveway or a <br />
