San Francisco City Attorney Goes After Parking Space App

In San Francisco, there is a very popular mobile app called Monkey Parking. It allows the user to auction off their parking spot, a scarce commodity in this city. 

The San Francisco city attorney has given the Italian based company until July 11 to cease and desist. The city said that it is a violation, and wants to charge a $300 fine for people that use the app, according to an article by Associated Press.

The city attorney is also going after a couple of other similar high tech startups according to the story, Sweetch and ParkModo. He also wants the apps removed from the Apple store.
