3402406458_a919aebfe5There’s a fascinating conversation happening over at Streetsblog featuring “the world’ foremost parking expert” talking about San Francisco’s “groundbreaking parking meter study” (I swear, it’s more interesting than it sounds).

Click through to learn about the delicate balance between price, occupancy, and congestion.
