This Could All Be Avoided If You Take The Bus
-
Parking is nearly impossible in San Francisco. Trust me on that, I've had that "pleasure." Some new apps are offering an alternative: People ready to leave a spot can post their location, then wait until someone willing to pay using the app comes along. Basically, you get paid to hold public spots. Is that fair? The city doesn't think so, and has sent cease-and-desist letters to the app makers. And, yeah, it sucks if you're in need of a space and someone's holding a public spot for ransom. But if you're a user of these services, it might be worth ten bucks extra to save the hassle of driving in circles for a half hour or more, or to avoid a valet. (KNTV/San Jose-San Francisco)
