"Once again the Man crushes the entrepreneurial spirit."

Bullshit. That's not entrepenurial (sp?) at all.

What gives these individuals any right at all to attempt to profit from something in which they have absolutely no stake other than location?

If they want to make a profit on parking, they can buy a lot.

It's too bad this didn't work out.

I had just about finished the toll booth I was going to put up on my street. =(

 Parking squatters perform the valuable function of providing liquidity and managing scarcity. If you can't see that you must be some sort of communist.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

I believe MillCreek was being sarcastic.

No evidence of such. My spies tell me he's actually a Leninist and hums the International all day, every day.

My spies tell me he is a counter-revolutionary double-agent.  And that he hums the International...ironically.

I think these things are great. If cities were competent enough to price parking at a clearing price there would be no room for these apps.

I don't get the anger when entrepreneurs pick up the slack when government types fail.
