I am guessing it's one of those fake websites to judge interest.
(In related news, I am looking forward for this to be used - by other people of course. Imagine: I arrive to downtown, fully intending to pay, but all spots are taken by illegally parked people. No worries - head to parkremark, report a (fake) police sighting, and watch some spots mysteriously free up. Sweet! And the best part there is no ethical downsides, those people were jerks to begin with.)
I need ~100 people per city to actually make this useful so I’m doing a waitlist + staggered start.
On a side note, it’s fun that your first instinct is chaotic and selfish.
(There are certainly plenty of bad laws in US that should not be enforced strictly, the highway speed limits for example. But the metered parking is not such a law. Having enforced metered parking means that visitors can find a place to park, and businesses have more business. There were plenty of times in my life when I thought, "There are no free parking spaces here! Wish they put some meters!")
