Libertarian: drivers should pay the full market cost of parking in cities (e.g. there should be no free or heavily-subsidized parking in urban areas) Authoritarian: major consequences for committing traffic violations that endanger others are Good, Actually*https://twitter.com/EmmaGorowski/status/1021541247389814784 …
not sure if speeding/parking tickets are the right place to apply this, but this is why I'm generally in favor of corporal punishment over fines (which give the rich a free pass) or detention (can't get that time back, and very hard to adjust back into society upon release)

Hm, I’m thinking maybe something a little more constructive like community service? Or maybe temporary license suspensions, depending on the frequency/severity of the infraction?
-
Like I know license suspensions are already used in more extreme cases, but maybe having those instead of fines would be a more effective slap-on-the-wrist?
-
If the duration of the suspension isn't too long, that would be a good call--the problem with suspensions is that it can very quickly cost you your job if you can't drive and don't have reliable backups

Indeed indeed...no one should lose their job over a parking violation
