>> well, monkey parking makes its money for every deal it gets out there. it's big out on the west coast, cities like san francisco have moved to ban this type of system. they don't like this idea of making money out of public parking and supply and demand. live in center city, john rawlins, channel 6 "action news." parking spaces for sale has a topic that has people talking he want to know what you think, go to the "action news" page and tell us, is it fair or not fair, and while there like our page too, facebook.com/abcactionnews. >> we want to update a story we brought you at 4:30 on south philadelphia, that happened near 11th and poplar streets,
