I hear you Ray, sadly, that's what will probably happen. Or maybe worse, a couple of broken windows or slashed tire. I was thinking that the spaces may not be designated hybrid only, so you wouldn't actually be wasting a space, just not paying, almost like an out of order meter (1hr max). Knowing boston, the rules will probably require a graduate law degree to decipher
