I have arrived at the pearly gates of San Francisco street parking heav-an! (I sounded like Oprah in my head when I said that.)  Meter maids be damned!  My days of metered parking roulette are officially over. Last week I was bestowed a precious gift in the form of a San Francisco Parking Meter Debit Card, available in $20 and $50 increments, and I can honestly say it’s changed my life.  No longer am I burdened with the stress of finding change to feed the meter in this town (25 cents gets you about 5 minutes here).  Now all I have to do is swipe and go.  Swipe and go.  It makes me so happy that each time I do it I want to pump my fist in the air and go – “War, war, war.”
