We come back to a ticket.
I see the ticket guy and went over to ask him more about it.
Apparently this zone's E-Park machine does not always work and that 'they have been reporting it for months', but that this zone has been getting abused by parkers who are taking advantage of that fact and so he has been advised to ticket it and more often than normal.
Doing that instead of fixing the machine.
So not only is the machine not working properly, the 'system' is broken for repairing it, the authority is not providing grace even though they are providing 30mins FREE (IF the machine had worked properly) and so now I have to go fight a $50.00 ticket.
3/4 cars had tickets on this stretch.
We even went back to the machine to do a video of how it is misleading to the user for submission to the authority when we appeal this. The parking meter guy even admitted that it is misleading.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. The city has no real leadership from top down. I hope you just don't fight it...but really expose the hypocrisy in this ludicrous money making scam.
