This is a funny case of HN temporarily suspending its hate for AI slop self-promotion because the topic of the page unites everyone against parking fees.
If you read about ParkGraph, it's an app for managing private parking lots. The comparison to street parking fees (which everyone appears to be talking about) is therefore rather weird.
The AI agent they had compile this page was also rather lazy. It collected 98% of the entries from ParkMobile, a couple from a few other providers, and then entered a few other major cities with $0 fees as "not published" even though it's easy to find that the fees are zero.
Ironically, the app charges fees higher than the posted convenience fees, but they're charged to the lot operator.
I don't know why they thought this page was going to promote their app.
