A Case of Public Safety?

The city of Boston has come up with a novel way to solve its downtown parking problem: The police have begun ticketing motorcycles for not parking parallel to the curb in the same way that cars do. They began this practice after receiving complaints from drivers who were knocking down the diagonally parked motorcycles while parking their own cars. Apparently, instead of ticketing the car driver for not parking properly, they are ticketing the motorcycle for saving space (and helping the environment). The city is hoping that by forcing motorcycles to take up a whole parking space (instead of the 5 or 6 that normally could diagonally park in the same spot), that they will force the private sector to pitch in and build more parking lots! At least I think that must be their strategy.
