Reports are surfacing that parking in Los Angeles is becoming more expensive and even harder to find a legal spot on the street. Not a surprise, but as part of our charge, we intend to at least let people know what's going on when mainstream media ignores an issue and our money is involved.
The clear reason is the State's economic crisis is forcing cities to find revenue wherever they can. Anyone who knows anything about making changes knows that you go for the "low hanging fruit" first. Very easy to remove parking meters, raise the price on those that remain and also jack-up the fines for parking tickets and better yet, tow the car if possible and make the recovery fee huge.
That forces drivers into parking garages or they face a long process of circling and waiting or a ticket or being towed if you park where you shouldn't.
We certainly don't condone parking where you shouldn't just because you're inpatient. However, we feel that Angelinos and visitors should be aware of the situation and what to expect. Be aware that more attempts to grab your money by the State and cities in California are on the way.
