Facts About New Parking Meters

So you have all noticed the new meters?
A few facts; #1 the city has not increased parking meters since the late 1980's; #2 ALL of our L.A city councilmen voted yes to the rate increase; #3 DAILY means DAILY; #4 they take credit cards, cash and are easy to use IF YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! ; #5 you can have them send you a text when you are about to expire and add more money from your cel phone;
#6 the city uses the revenue from these meters to fund city costs and if meters and/or other parking where to become privately owned you would probably be paying A LOT more.
