Disclaimer: In no way or form am I saying Moncton is Toronto, or any larger city, I am only referring to their use of private lots and other lots for parking.
I remember when I was living in Ontario, travelling into Toronto and looking for parking was always something a bit stressful, always afraid of parking somewhere and getting towed etc. Then I noticed you didn't always have to find a parking structure, there were small lots and bigger lots everywhere and all there was, was a sign that said vacancy/no vacancy and a man standing there to take your money. That was it, they didn't have to put up fences, nothing, except a chair or sometimes a small shed which they referred to as a booth, it was literally that simple and the charger was usually $2 an hour which you paid when you got their so you didn't have to worry about coming back every hour.
My point being, the people that run the lots in Moncton are all very business savvy people, they are smart, they will take advantage of the opportunity to make extra money. Yes I said smart, not nice, not friendly or welcoming.. just smart. Any opportunity they can use to make a quick buck they will. So I think the booting worries can be thrown out the window.
