List: How "smart" meters will change parking in S.F.
Last week, the city began to roll out SFpark, "smart" meters that, through a networked program, adjust how much it costs to park in each space based on driver demand. How will this change parking in San Francisco?
• A lot more parking meters will be stolen for their valuable computer parts
• Only the people who own the Financial District will be able to afford to park in it
• People in the Outer Sunset won't notice any change, just as usual
• San Franciscans will enjoy the electric thrill of never being able to predict how much an important commodity will cost
• Parking rates in the Richmond District will drop suddenly after parking meter #1862 learns how to love
• Drivers will stop using the city's parking meters after Apple releases a sleeker, cooler, iMeter
• Hipsters will demand rent control for parking spaces in the Mission
• Glenn Beck has now declared that people who pay for parking in San Francisco are socialists
• "How much did you park for?" will become a thing we all talk about
• When problems come up, no one will actually understand how the system works
