That's generous. Do you also think the city should "work with" hotels to provide free housing for people during snow storms, or is your outpouring reserved only for automobiles?
You're getting downvoted, but I think your point is a useful illustration of how we unwittingly worry more about places for cars to sleep than places for people to sleep. Everyone demands free, abundant, convenient parking, at the same time they vote to restrict construction of new housing. Then they complain about rents. People are weird.
Actually, the city did work with area motels to house homeless in order to get them off the streets, since they were out of space in the homeless shelters.
