I know of cities that seem to be working actively against its residents with arcane laws about when, where and who is allowed to park in a specific spot at a specific time, so I'm glad someone is sticking up for the little guy.
However, I wish government was transparent enough that services like this weren't needed. Why do I have to take a day off from work to fight a ticket whose fee is (probably) worth less to me than a vacation day (first world problem, I know)? I think I'm also lucky enough to have lived in a few cities where I didn't feel that the parking authority is actively working against me. I've gotten many parking tickets, and I can honestly say all but one were justified...
That said, I am rather fond of this quote:
A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works.

I do too, but the sooner we realize this is impossible, the sooner we can all get over it and turn the responsibilities over to third party private organizations.
I think it's more reasonable to not have a car than it is to not have internet, but that's probably a minority view. In any case, I have internet access, but no cable subscription.
