Things really seem to be going "uphill" in San Francisco. A couple from the city, who has parked in the same spot "every day for the last 36 years" was ticketed $1,542 for parking in their own driveway this month.

The city planning committee then made the couple prove that parking there was a historic use on the lot, so the couple started digging. "We could be grandfathered in. If we show them a historical photo that showed a car... or a horse-drawn buggy in the carport," Judy said.

And the couple came up with a photo from 1938 which shows a car or buggy pulling into his driveway. But the planning department told them the photo was too fuzzy and that it couldn't be used as evidence.

Today, their carpad sits empty and the couple is forced to park on the hill. "The onus is on us to prove we're innocent... though I don't feel guilty," Judy concluded.
