    A $65 ticket in New York sounds like absolutely nothing. If they really want to enforce it, tickets should be $200. The article talking about people “taking their chances” risking a ticket says it all. You want people to comply with the rules? Make it hurt when they don’t.

      That still sounds like a mild inconvenience for the ultra rich, and a life-ruining disaster for low wage workers.

      Dude San Francisco has double fine zones where tickets will go up to like $500.

          My poor (literally) friend suffered this on accident. Not only did she get a huge fine, they actually towed her vehicle.
