I agree with Mr. Herrera, even as a libertarian. Apps like Uber and Airbnb are fundamentally different from this. You could make an argument that those apps should be regulated consistently with other business in the same market, but at the end of the day they are dealing with private property. This app takes property that is already paid for and maintained by all tax payers and holds it hostage (their metaphor is very apt). Paying for the spot gives you the right to park there - it does not give you the right to determine who comes in next, and especially not to make money off that decision.

  > It's unlikely you're making [net] money if you're paying to get in and getting payed when you leave. Getting payed when you leave requires being willing to spend extra time when you are done -- and depends on how willing you are to do that. People with reasons for being in the spot beyond arbitrage may have other needs that make that less viable.
