I've heard of so many people who work downtown and just street park and go outside every couple hours to "feed the meter". I know you're technically not allowed to do that but I've never heard of anyone ever getting a ticket for re-metering.

In the lots I park in, it's cheaper(or roughly the same) to pay the daytime flat rate than to plug the metre. When I need to drive. $9 per day in the lot, from 6am to 6pm. $2 for 2 hours on the street. I'd need to plug the metre at least 5 times for my entire day.
