Thanks for pointing that out, I have corrected the one link that was broken.
Parking tickets are regressive because the ones who end up receiving and paying for more tickets are those who can not afford off-street parking.
It is probably also the case that cars are more prevalent with families that can not afford to have one parent stay home with the kids, so that both parents must work, and at least one car is necessary to drive to a job and bring kids to day care.
Another point is that blue collar workers often do not have the types of jobs that would allow them to take off time to attend a parking hearing to contest their tickets.
