They ignore the fact that Cambridge residents are rarely fined for overnight parking and add insult to injury by levying fines which are almost three times as high as Cambridge's. The Administration explains that the higher rates and stricter enforcement are necessary because Cambridge fines are too low and too rarely enforced.
