Detroit's Parking Revenue

Detroit's Parking Enforcement is notorious for writing parking tickets minutes after a meter expires. My boyfriend narrowly dodged a ticket recently, following my wise advice to put in another quarter while out to lunch at Jacoby's in downtown Detroit.

Most Detroiters or commuters grumble about the staggering revenues parking enforcement provides the city. After investigating, my eyes grew wide: Municipal Parking accounted for over 45 million dollars in total revenues in 2007-2008.
