Where are you getting an average of $39k from? The OECD lists 2024 US average salary as $82,933 [1].

So this is a job that pays from less than average to a bit more than average nationally.

But, the mean hourly wage in San Francisco is $48.15 [2], which is slightly over $100K annually. Which makes it a job that pays from well below average to average at best.

Parking enforcement people are not police officers, nor do they have any of the powers of one.
