no ticket yesterday. no huge surprise there... i have no idea how many parking spaces there are on campus but parking services estimates that there are 19,551 people (students, faculty, staff) here this year. that's a lot of people and a lot of cars; checking all parking permits every day isn't going to happen. but the mean time to failure (how long you can park in blue and not get caught) is my main question.
today i parked with the stall in front of me occupied by a ford explorer that has no permit. it has no permit because it is an exempt vehicle owned by the university. now i am not against them doing so or even parking in spaces. but i am against them using perfectly nice parking spaces in blue to store vehicles. i know this vehicle is stored in blue because it has a newspaper type flyer on its windshield that was passed out about two weeks ago. and its passenger side front tire is fairly flat. this is stupid to store a car here. it gets used almost never i would say and yet it occupies a spot in the lot that i would consider "prime parking" for blue.
