Starbucks sold a $7 brew a few months back and we’ve even heard of a $25 cuppa, but $966?!

That’s what one thirsty San Francisco java drinker paid when they received aย $966 parking fine for illegally parking in the “blue zone” while stopping in for their daily brew. The embittered parking scofflaw has reached out to 7×7 Magazine’s “Parking Guru” for advice,ย which is sound ground for anyone whoย might skirt the law for their latte:

My advice to you and others would beโ€ฆif youโ€™re not disabled nor driving a disabled person somewhere, donโ€™t park in a blue zone.ย Youโ€™re better off parking right on the sidewalk blocking the coffee shop door. That will only cost you $110.

But, after giving it some thought, I have a non-smartass solution that I think is a pretty good one: Tell your local coffee shop owner to go toย this linkย and they will see that for just a little more than you are about to pay for your ticket, they could apply for and receive a 22-foot green-zone curb, right in front of their shop. Itโ€™s a win-win-win situation. The coffee shop gets turnover of traffic, disabled people have access to the blue zone, and nobody will ever have to pay $966 for a cup of coffee again.
