How on EARTH has no one made an app to combat this?

This frustrating Monte Carlo method of searching for parking spots drives me nuts. It should be illegal for cities and their private concessions to straight up lie about the number of parking spaces available in a given spot.<br><br>I was at the hospital to visit a prospective nurse. I’m the owner of a small home health care company. This person wanted to talk about our position available. I sat there for 45 minutes driving around until we finally found a parking spot then waited for another 10 minutes for me to verify that I’m not being towed, I had paid the fee and I was in the correct spot.<br><br>I was thinking you put the coordinates of all the parking spots, the owner of a given parking spot, and then just on and off switches. That’s it. It’s not like people are driving around taking pictures of empty parking spots unless there’s an app for that.<br><br>For then give you a map of which spots are empty which spots are full. You get there. You turn the switch to on. It goes green so everyone knows the park spot is taken. Now if you pull up and park in that spot and you don’t turn the switch to on, everyone then knows you’re parked in a spot you’re not supposed to be in. If you get there and you don’t find a parking spot, you’re not supposed to be there. So the less busy the parking lot is on a given day on a Monte Carlo method, the higher you go up in the list of available parking spots for people who are actually in the parking lot. That way all the people who are outside of the parking lot at least see the people who are actually there and less busy on Monte Carlo method.<br><br>I don’t see how this would need more then 1-2 people to make. And I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a viral sensation and then everybody bought it and then you’re sitting on a gold mine. Or at least a decent sized pile of cash. Either way, you’d get the satisfaction that you helped humanity make a big leap forward.
