Good point. I wonder if it might be a bimodal distribution - peaks for the super poor and the super wealthy. Of course, there are more poor than wealthy, so maybe you'd need to look at the rate per capita for different income brackets.

Maybe but honestly your logic doesn’t really make any sense to me anyway. If my time is worth $10k/hr, why am I driving myself? That alone is a huge waste of money.

My only knowledge of significant parking ticket acquisition from upper classes comes from lawyers outside courthouses. I tried looking for reporting on this but it may have just been a hyper local thing to where I grew up.

Could be family, I knew the daughter of a wealthy man who used to park wherever she liked and would pay the tickets without a second thought. I never asked her about it, but given what I remember of her (very personable and naive) she probably didn't see it as a problem, she just paid them and that was it.
