Then, of course, there is paid parking and parking meters, which can result in expensive parking tickets... If you don't feed the meter. See, parking really is a big deal.

So when I think about the subject of parking, it doesn't feel like that's much of a subject, except that parking is something you complain about. There's never enough of it. You can't find a spot when you need it. So why dive into this topic? Why is this so interesting?
