Nothing says All American City quite like fifty dollar parking tickets for forgetting to put a two cent placard up on the dashboard.

What I've read is that one of the reasons the fines have gone up in recent years is that lower fines were not sufficient to act as a deterrent. I'm much more vigilant about street sweeping since they increased the fine from $25 to $50.

Parking tickets are a downer. I got one in Charlestown this morning, because I put my quarters in the wrong meter (behind my car, not in front) when I went to the gym. But living in a place where nobody pays attention to parking regulations because they're not enforced would be worse.
