I never said it was their job, nor do I want it to BE their job. But why has our region and city chosen to invest so heavily transit enforcement instead of parking enforcement?
The street sweeper, the custodian, the doctor are not respresentative of the SYSTEM which has chosen to prioritize ticketing transit riders for skipping a ~3 dollar fare, instead of ticketing drivers who park their ~140k SUV illegally without paying a ~3 parking fee. Transit police are.
Criticism of a system is not criticism of individuals. I was quite clear, if not in my first comment (which I admit was vague) in my subsequent comments.
* My bolding above:
From your own post earlier, it was determined that the vehicles had permits. So therefore, the system of oppression walked past two legally parked vehicles. OK I guess... if there is a point there, I missed it.
As for it being a pedestrian square, if vehicles are legally allowed to park there, then it isn't. Call it a pedestrian square if you wish. I'll call it a meatball sub. Doesn't matter, we are both wrong.
