In order to raise cash, Chicago sold rights to the revenue from Chicago parking meters for many years into the future. Instead of using the money to go into the grocery business it should use the money to buy back its parking meters.

The logic is not to serve customers but to create jobs for the nomenklatura.

It would be better to take the lawbreaker's property and thereby reward the taxpayer.
