To the editor: Thanks for masking a number of the ongoing issues with parking within the metropolis (“Cash? Playing cards? Apps? The hell that’s paying for parking in L.A.,” July 22). To keep away from the trouble of coping with a number of apps for small quantities, I at all times carry a roll of quarters in my automotive.
What the article missed are the issues with even studying many parking meters which have pale screens which can be onerous to see, notably in daylight, and others with such cloudy or vandalized display screen coverings that they’ll’t be learn.
Town must overhaul these pale, broken parking meters.

To the editor: It’s unreasonable to require somebody to put in an app or present bank card data on corroded parking meter screens which can be continuously unreadable. It is usually unreasonable that somebody ought to need to pay a $63 effective to park for 5 minutes in the event that they forgot to cost their cellphone or if their bank card fee didn’t undergo.
With the best way issues are going, I concern that subsequent a 911 app shall be required for emergencies. If your own home is on fireplace, press 1; in case you are being attacked, press 2. You might have to attend for the prospect to press 63 in case your complete block smells like a fuel pipeline leak.
