Pittsburgh Parking About To Get Even Worser?

The Pittsburgh Parking Authority board has voted to implement stage two of what appears to be a three-part plan to turn downtown parking into a complete clustermuck.

The authority's ~~lead cream-skimmer~~ financial consultant on this project is from Chicago, which makes perfect sense because Chicago appears to have perfected the method of privatizing downtown parking into a dysfunctional meltdown.

I am not about to forsake Hunter S. Thompson and Emil Faber, but I like this website's motto:

FIGHTING IGNORANCE SINCE 1973 -- IT'S TAKING LONGER THAN WE THOUGHT

PROPOSITIONS TERMS
****************
Wagers accepted while proposition posted (until removed); dds may be revised at any time without advance notice; no winner paid without ticket; all bets are action upon acceptance by management. 10% commission deducted from successful wagers
PROPOSITIONS POINTERS
The number expressed after a proposition identifies the line, or ratio by which wagers for that proposition would be paid upon occurrence of the proposed event. A line of 2-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $2 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $3). A line of 1-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $1 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $2). A line of 3-5 indicates that a successful $5 wager would generate a $3 winning (and aggregate payment of $8). The greater the ratio the first number bears to the second, the less likely the proposed event is expected to occur.)
Examples:
99-1 extreme odds; remote probability
15-2 high odds; low probability
1-1 even odds; 50-50 probability
2-15 low odds; high probability
1-99 extreme odds; overwhelming probability
