I hope that Menlo Park will think carefully about the effect of parking fees and fines on their attraction to shoppers and restaurant customers. I hardly ever go to San Francisco any more than absolutely necessary, because of the parking hassle and expense. I shall not forget that the last time we had a gathering of family in SF, the parking tab was $54, not a ticket, but cost. - If this happens in MP, I will stay with Redwood City and Palo Alto or where ever parking is free. - The problem of employee parking is one that needs an innovative solution. - One cannot build a home without a garage or carport,the same rules should apply to businesses.

I agree with your statements with one exception. Redwood City does charge for parking downtown. To rent your parking space is a pain. No parking meters. but pay stations.

I'm not sure if this is the case in all neighborhoods but in the places I've parked with the pay stations in Redwood city the fees begin after 1-2 hours.
