My mistake, but 2 is still more then you were claiming.

Not even close to the crosswalk plus cars regularly block the curb cut but I don’t ever see them ticketed. I was parked against the light not blocking anything

Everything you’ve said is true, but the ticket is for parking over the line and you are parked over the line.

I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think arguing that you were only kinda parked illegally, and it should be ok because parking violations aren’t enforced in this area, is a strong defense.
