Three or four parking spaces on High Street immediately south of Elm Street are continuously occupied by the cars of federal government employees who work at the Yale post office. They place "U.S. Postal Service - Official Business" placards on the dashboards of their personal vehicles and never put money in the parking meters. The taxpayers of New Haven are furnishing free parking for these federal employees who should be paying for their parking just as all other workers in the downtown area must pay. Apparently, the New Haven parking authorities have readily accepted this practice, since none of the cars are ever ticketed, even though the parking meters always indicate "expired."
