In my city, I think the city was charging quite a lot for their use (they called them “parklets”) but not 100 percent sure on that (I’m not contradicting this tweet and post)
I’m conflicted on parking meters generally. On the one hand, “cars bad” BUT it seems the fees only really impact and price-out the poors and provide more spaces for richees to park so just turns the area into an exclusive zone and a place to further gauge people for expired meters.
My city has rolled out meters EVERYWHERE (even at all the “public beach” areas) in recent months and years. And they are mostly those kiosk ones which half the time you don’t even see if you are down block and used to there being no meters.
Fee and penalty based anything essentially means NO rules for the wealthy, and especially the uber-wealthy
