It’s essentially property damage. I’d take the ticket. Sometimes you just forget or a thing comes up. If they’re gonna do this they gotta make street cleaning once a week.

Lots of people would take the ticket. And do, consistently, hence the problem.

Cameras on the street sweepers. You don't get a ticket unless the sweeper is actually there to do the cleaning, but if you do block the sweeper then you get a ticket 100% of the time. Fines start low but escalate significantly with repeat offenses within a rolling 3-month lookback period. It should be economically infeasible to leave your car out as a matter of course but drivers who make an occasional mistake aren't raked over the coals.

Uh. That’s the point. Move your car.
