20% Drop In Parking Stickers Sold

This is the city's reasoning:

Fewer Parking Stickers – This last year, we sold 20% less parking stickers. This is a huge drop. Part of the decline may be due to our more stringent enforcement effort to ensure that non-City residents are not purchasing the permits. Even so, for whatever reason there seems to be a general decline in people purchasing the permits.

You notice that they make no effort to catch people putting the stickers on out-of-state vehicles?

This is my reasoning:

This city has become full of poeple living here on a part time basis. Because of this they register their vehicles in the state with the cheapest costs. California is not a cheap state to register a vehicle so we see a lot of out-of-state vehicles. Arizona, Nevada are the two popular ones. Putting a city sticker on an out-of-state vehicle makes it easy to spot and I, and many others, will report you to the CHP using their CHEATERS web page (See link on the column to the right.) So they aviod getting the stickers.

Not to worry. I now photograph ALL cars with out-of-state regristrations. Then if a vehicle shows up again in say 60 days I will report it to the CHP.

I love digital cameras. It makes this process so easy.

This is my reasoning number 2:

Everybody is taking the bus.
