I've never met anyone who lives in SF who thinks buying/auctioning public parking spaces is a good idea. Every single resident I know thinks it's just a shitty thing to do and makes the city worse for everyone (other than the people leaching money off the system I guess). Note that the author of this post lives in Paris. Parking in SF is certainly a pain, but auctioning off spots is just going to lead to fistfights in the street.

Also I don't understand why they didn't first launch in Paris, which has exactly the same problem, possibly worse.
