surely you've read the economics parable about the misguided approach of making meters free at Christmas (duh--the spaces never open up).
I really like the European system of parking discs. Put one in your window set to the time you arrive. Better be back within 2 hours (or whatever the rule for the location is). Alternatively, if you need, revenue, the ticket machine that spits it out is superior to the individual meters.
