Our colonia (La Condesa) is currently embroiled in the whether to or whether not to let the government install parquímetros on our streets. Opinions go both ways. Tomorrow there is a vote. IMHO, parking problems are bad enough already without adding parking meters to the mix. Most folks agree that if the meters are installed, the money collected from them will not benefit the colonia (although that is what is theoretically supposed to happen), but will simply disappear into someone's pocket. And no one is convinced that parking meters will put an end to parking on the sidewalks--we think that they will actually make sidewalk parking more prevalent. http://www.mexicocooks.typepad.com
