In an effort to make everyone's parking lives even more miserable, if that's possible, the city in it's infinite lack of wisdom raised the price for parking meters to 25 cents per 15 minutes, and in some areas 25 cents will only net you a whopping 7 minutes. So instead of getting your standard 2 hour parking for 50 cents (in most areas), that will now cost you around $4, or 16 quarters to be precise. That seems convenient, huh? Yeah, for those of you who walk around with a change dispenser attached to your belt like the old ice cream man used to have.
Not surprisgly, there have been slight problems that have arisen from the city's latest efforts to legalize highway robbery. For instance, now the meters are filling up at a much faster rate than before, and when they are completely full, they cease to work. Who could've seen that coming? Did no one anticipate this being a problem when brainstorming this little horse apple of an idea? Not one person realized that 16>2, and there might be complications? What's next? You park your car in a metered spot, then a couple of city officials grab you by the ankles, turn you upside down and shake all the money out of your pockets? Oh silly me, that only happens when you have to pay your property taxes! My bad.
As a wise man once said, "you hit the head right on the nail."
