San Francisco Parking Meter Sensors and Private Outsourcing
San Francisco is installing sensors on every parking meter to detect when vehicles depart, preventing drivers from refilling meters beyond time limits. This expensive infrastructure project is criticized as being anti-tourist and bad for local business. The system is managed by a private company, making it difficult for citizens to contest tickets in court.
