As someone who lived in Palo Alto for a long time, at least they tend to be very lax on enforcing moped and motorcycle parking (e-bikes weren't yet a thing when I lived there). Boston has begun ticketing motorbikes very aggressively and requiring them to pay the same ticket price as a car (to fill up 1/6 of the space, and a random street space that no one else would utilize). For me, this seems like the end of the line for financialization of America -- there's no longer any guise that it's about efficiency or city planning it's just a straight revenue grab when mopeds become a priority.
