I don’t see how it really helps anyone other than city government bureaucrats lining their pockets, and potentially Metro(who has had the year from Hell). Well, I also assume it might create a few new jobs since the city will probably be hiring more meter maids.

All former hall monitors aside, I think everyone else who became a meter maid either did because it’s the best job they could find, they’re trying to work their way up to fighting actual crime one day, or they actually were regular cops but they did something stupid like pulling a gun out at a snowball fight and the meter maid gig is their punishment.
