People in San Francisco can now use a controversial app called MonkeyParking, which allows them to “sell” their parking spots for $5 or more.
This is a rather interesting alternative in a city where parking spots are rare and parking tickets have become “yet another tax.”
The app is already proving popular among drivers, but San Francisco authorities may have something to say about it.
The Attorney’s office is indeed debating whether MonkeyParking is legal. “So far, all we’ve determined for sure is that it’s extremely weird,” a spokesperson told The Chronicle.
