Considering that SF is piloting
"demand-responsive pricing"
http://sfpark.org/how-it-works/pricing/ http://sfpark.org/how-it-works/pricing/
this seems like a natural evolution.
Alpha-test in Rome, beta in SF, then
try to expand to Boston & New York. :-)
- softgrow 12y agoAs Donald Shoup http://shoup.bol.ucla.edu/ http://shoup.bol.ucla.edu/ keeps reminding us, if there are no free spaces in a block, then the parking is under-priced. The city needs to charge more, in that block, at that time, so that spaces are made available and there is no need for cruising for parking. It would be interesting to see whereabouts in SF the app is offering parks for, probably not in the SFPark pilot areas. Bottom line, it's a market problem but the market is dysfunctional. The app is not disruptive, it's simply exploiting market failure.
