MonkeyParking is a mobile app that allows users of the service to auction parking spaces to other users.〔 The company was founded in 2013 by Paolo Dobrowolny, Federico Di Legge and Roberto Zanetti.〔MonkeyParking. CrunchBase. CrunchBase, n.d. Web. 25 Sept. 2014. The app (first allowed users to auction off public, city-owned parking spots to the highest bidder) is now focused on private parking spot: property owners are allowed to grant permission for others to park in front of their driveways.〔MonkeyParking Is Back and Ready to Disrupt Your Driveway. ==On-street parking== In June 2014, the San Francisco's City Attorney Office issued a cease-and-desist order to stop the company's operations on on-street parking spots in San Francisco, describing the service as "a predatory private market for parking spaces".〔"Monkey Parking App’s CEO Refuses To Halt Operations In SF, Despite Order From City Attorney’s Office — CBS San Francisco." CBS San Francisco. CBS Local Media, 26 June 2014. Web. 25 Sept. 2014. In September 2014 MonkeyParking announced plans to launch in Santa Monica. The city's parking administrator was critical of the app, comparing it to "a street bum () stands on a space, waves someone in and asks for a tip".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kicked Out of San Francisco, MonkeyParking App Plans a Fresh Start in Santa Monica )〕 Apps including MonkeyParking have been banned in Boston.〔 A Boston transportation planner said that the apps were doing a "great thing" in bringing more private supply into the public market, giving the example of a church parking lot which could be used by commuters during the week, but that such services "should not be taking a public good and selling it on the private market".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MonkeyParking」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
