Parking question...

I have a theory about parking enforcement and big box stores in small towns.
The town uses taxes to enforce parking Nazi-style downtown to run everyone to the big box stores who have lobbied, under the table, for this treatment.
It makes no financial sense, if they took that one parking attendant and patrolled the whole town for more serious parking offenses they would make in one day what they make in a month for the petty parking tickets running business away from the few mom & pop stores left down-town that are actually supposed to have people in them for long periods of time.
Especially in illegal disabled parking tickets alone.
