I absolutely agree - when I lived in the city I constantly made this consideration for parking. I’d buy this and appreciate some peace of mind in the long run - with the estimation that it’d pay for itself over time.

It is! It's even crazier for busses, with 48% of the fares evaded. It seems like the total amount lost is over a billion annually, although I guess not all of those rides would be taken if there was 100% fare enforcement
