Where is Oakland’s parking ticket money actually going?
I’ve noticed a big uptick in parking tickets over the past year and now there are multiple speed cameras too. The city must be bringing in a significant amount just from parking enforcement alone. Does anyone know how that money is actually being used?
I’m not really seeing improvements like major potholes getting fixed or any noticeable reduction in crime, both of which seem like obvious areas to reinvest in. Parking tickets are frustrating at best and financially tough for some people, so it’d be good to know that the money is at least going towards something meaningful..
