No, driving a car doesn't excuse you from acting like a responsible member of society, but parking tickets are basically penalties for being disorganised - the only thing not getting parking tickets makes you is more organised (or lucky) than a person that gets them.
The reason you get a parking ticket is because you are inconveniencing other road users and/or pedestrians.
The root cause for you putting yourself in that situation where you attract parking tickets, whether it is being disorganised, selfish or just plain inconsiderate, is largely irrelevant to those people handing out the tickets, as it should be.

You remember it's just (or at least mainly?) for PARKING TICKETS right? You know, not burglary, or rape, or murder, or muggings. PARKING TICKETS.
It's $20k worth of parking tickets. Clearly a recidivist offender. Lock him up....actually, can you be locked up for parking tickets? Hmmm, perhaps being surrounded by students is a worse punishment...?
Not terribly serious as offending goes.
Doesn't even disqualify one from being a police officer.
Apparently, nor does drink driving these days.

Why aren't assets (as written down values) being confiscated or salaries garnisheed once the bill gets to $1000?
Yes, they should bloody-well confiscate his car. Kill two birds with one stone, as it were.

And while I'm it, can we please get rid of that horrible woman who writes the Saturday interview on the back-page of the Herald because there are people out can form sentence structures better than her.
You are a master of irony.

And sorry, but mind-control lasers are just cooler. Though how a laser is supposed to control the mind (other than by, say, threatening to boil it in your skull) is an interesting question.
Like this.

pantywaist? who on earth uses 'pantywaist' in normal conversation
From now on, me whenever remotely feasible. Almost as good as 'lickspittle'.

At any rate, we seemed terribly keen to sell what were bloody thin offerings for nightlife.
Never confuse sales with delivery.
[Edit]: and I should add, the 'quietness' is still a big draw for some, me included.
