To the editor: Thanks for overlaying a number of the ongoing issues with parking within the metropolis (“Cash? Playing cards? Apps? The hell that’s paying for parking in L.A.,” July 22). To keep away from the effort of coping with a number of apps for small quantities, I all the time carry a roll of quarters in my automotive.
What the article missed are the issues with even studying many parking meters which have light screens which might be onerous to see, notably in daylight, and others with such cloudy or vandalized display coverings that they’ll’t be learn.
The town must overhaul these light, broken parking meters.

To the editor: It’s unreasonable to require somebody to put in an app or present bank card info on corroded parking meter screens which might be incessantly unreadable. Additionally it is unreasonable that somebody ought to should pay a $63 effective to park for 5 minutes in the event that they forgot to cost their cellphone or if their bank card cost didn’t undergo.
With the best way issues are going, I worry that subsequent a 911 app will likely be required for emergencies. If your home is on fireplace, press 1; in case you are being attacked, press 2. You will have to attend for the prospect to press 63 in case your total block smells like a gasoline pipeline leak.
