One of the stated reasons for parking meters is to create short term parking options that won't be taken by people looking to park for hours.

In Columbus it’s supposed to be a 3 hour limit at most meters, but I have extended my time before and have not gotten tickets. I would assume it just depends on how often they drive by to check your time. Since there are probably not enough parking meter people, it’s easy to get away with parking longer. It also seems hard to enforce because a few blocks could all be on the same number so if you move a spot over, you still use the same number, on the app. I’m not really sure how they can determine if you left and came back and started parking in the same section later on.
April 11, 20232 yr I keep the parking meter number and place a new session after the two hour meter expires. They wont allow you to extend the two hour here but, you can place a new two hour session.

I would think you could accomplish the same goal via dynamic pricing. First 15 or 30 minutes is cheaper, but any longer goes to market pricing (i.e. same price as nearby private lots). When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

Street parking is more convenient, too. Ideally it should be geared for those who need quick in and out access to run into a store or quick appointment.
August 17, 20231 yr Cleveland is considering increasing parking rates and/or lengthening paid parking hours. A rationale for the latter.... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
September 19, 20231 yr City Council approved the parking rate increases with some minor pushback. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/09/cleveland-parking-rate-overhaul-higher-hourly-rates-evening-and-weekend-charges-and-higher-fees-for-muni-lot-tailgating.html Some things that weren't clear to me from the article: will coins/cash still be a possible way to pay for parking? (I thought I remembered reading that up thread) How clear will pricing be to consumers with the new sliding scale? (I.e. will people be able to walk away from the meter with a clear expectation of what they're going to pay?) Will enforcement be primarily virtual? (Does removing your license plate equal free parking?) And will parking data be anonymized? (I.e. no database with xxxxx plate parked here for three hours four months ago).
