If the people were smart they'd start tearing the meters out of the ground and smashing the corner cameras while they're at it.

It ain't just in Wrigleyville.
If you walk up and down a few of the streets here in Zone 56 in Rogers Park, you can find numerous cars that park here on a regular basis, sporting the so-called "temporary" tags in their windshield.
And if you arrive after 7:30 p.m., good luck finding anything within 2 blocks of your home.

That's okay. In Minneapolis, where after 6PM on a weekend it's okay to park for free, some runt will claim the meter is broken and encourage you to park in in the pay-for lot.

Everyone's a swindler.

Don't you love how our generation was raised? (pity I was a rebel...)

Make the entire city public transportation/pedestrian only, problem solved.

If you live in or around Chicago and have a car you are an idiot, and an unconscious environment destroying idiot!

Yes YOU!

Good thing you are not an extremist.

Thanks, I am happy that my moderation is appreciated. An extremist would obviously suggest torture or cutting off body parts for infractions, but that would be wrong!

This is a great example of someone on the LEFT. All they want to do is tell others what to do. This is why the left must be defeated in every conversation and election.

How is that working out for you... You have lost the last 2 congressional elections, lost the presidency, will lose the 2012 election and considering the demographic shift towards people of color you will never get the presidency back until your party changes so much that you will not recognize it, lol.

Poor GOP, game over, try again next century, we are not buying what you are selling!

Where is the story about how government is abusing the residents?

[CommunistUtopia]

Ahhh, pity poor government. They are not getting every nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar from the residents. At least they leave the pennies to the people.

Hey Miguel.... wanna bet you don't pay for any parking, have a driver, never pay for tickets and neither does your family, you got your job not because you are qualified but because of patronage...
