I'd be all for just eliminating parking on the side of the streets in question and building curbs to keep cars out of the lane.
This (photo enforcement) seems to be the more politically possible way of accomplishing the same thing. I don't see it as a revenue generating device, so if it accomplishes the goal but no one actually pays the tickets, fine by me.
BTW - in this case the money does go directly to the SFCTA, not any kind of general fund. It's treated just like any other parking violation in SF.
