Cincinnati seeks to abandon parking enforcement and go the kickback model.
This differs in implementation from that of speed camera use, (the city is charged a high fee for their provision,) but the result is the same.
The concept here is that our cities are shifting traffic enforcement to the private sector, content to take or keep a percentage of the earnings technology can provide, as long as they don't have to manage it.
I'm waiting for traffic drones next.
A better solution is to restrict automobile access on our public streets and walkable retail commercial zones.
This will increase safety, encourage storefront development, and allow for more efficient, human traffic law enforcement by reducing vehicular traffic's expanse geographically: its hegemony.

I wonder if the obvious motorist backlash against these trends will provide popular support for a return to urban functioning on a human scale?
