Street cleaning

As I diligently moved my car this morning since there was street cleaning from 800-930 am, I noticed a TON of cars that didn’t move, including where I was parked, any in many, many streets, it appears people completely ignore the street cleaning.

As I diligently moved my car this morning since there was street cleaning from 800-930 am, I noticed a TON of cars that didn’t move, including where I was parked, any in many, many streets, it appears people completely ignore the street cleaning. Didn’t see parking authority giving tickets either. What gives? Are people just taking a chance that they won’t get a ticket? Are they “lurking “ nearby so that when they see a parking authority officer nearby, they quickly jump into their car to move it? I totally get that the street done get cleaned all the time, but if cars just don’t move, isn’t the city missing a major way to get revenue? When I lived in San Francisco, if you didn’t move your car during street cleaning, it was almost 100% guaranteed you would get a ticket. On a related note, does the city keep track of parking tickets and boot or tow cars that have accumulated too many, even if paid off? It seems to me, if you get 1 parking ticket per week and just pay it off, it’s still cheaper than renting a garage space [less]
