WATCH: Boogie Board Ban, Parking App Prohibition, and Old Sunscreen Labeling (Nanny of the Month, 8-14)
In August, parking won't be getting any easier in Boston as the city council pre-emptively bans parking spot reservation apps like Haystack.

Seriously?
There has been an increased use of them [shoes, forks, cell phones, bureaucrats, MRAPs] and we have to ban them for people's safety.
