»In which the budget still does not balance

although the board approved the increases, some supervisors are still working to decrease the fees for residential parking permits with further increases to parking costs in commercial areas. The new parking penalty schedule already has a higher fee for missing payment on a meter downtown $50, rather than the $40 fine for overtime parking in other areas of The City.

Details on the rate increase appear on the Department of Parking and Traffic's web site.

Aside: isn't "The City" a particular area of downtown London? I cannot abide how The Examiner insists on referring to San Francisco as "The City".
