Parking in San Francisco is notoriously, legendarily, almost impressively bad. The tickets are real. The street sweeping is relentless. The meters expire when you're not looking. And the spots — well, there are never enough spots.
Some folks pray for good weather. Some pray for their health. Some pray for the people they love. Here in San Francisco, we have a more pressing concern. We pray for parking.
This hat won't stop the parking enforcement officer. It won't extend your meter. It won't move the street sweeper. But it might — just might — bring you a little luck finding that one open spot on a Tuesday morning.
