I vote to take a sledge hammer to those things..

And I find it very funny that Rami said what he said, cause his dad would have called out the mafia on him if he thought there were no parking issues... (Mr G. was the biggest complainer about the lack of parking, EVER...)

I'm sure that's something these meters are capable of enforcing. Doesn't necessarily mean they are going to start charging hourly rates to park.

Correct.

Does that mean we pay a meter maid to check them? Salary? Benefits?

These would not require someone to physically go issue citations/check them. The data they collect is verified by enforcement personnel online and citations are mailed to the vehicle's owner.

Citation revenue would cover some costs, but you're not going to fix anything without spending money in this situation. The enforcement side of this solution would be significantly cheaper than having personnel enforce the existing policy.
