Considering that LACK of parking enforcement is the #1 complaint, I'd say we're not at that point yet.

It's not quite that simple, however. People often complain about a lack of enforcement, but then they advocate for parking policies that are extremely difficult to enforce.

For example, parking time limits without any metering are very hard to enforce. The meter does two things: it provides a financial incentive to move your car, and it also starts the clock ticking, meaning that the enforcing officer only has to check the car once to verify a violation, rather than checking it once at the start (to chalk tires, or something similar) and again to check at the end of the stated time period.
