>So only the rich can drive and park? FWIW, my city charges £6.70/hour for parking and it's still impossible to find a spot. Are you arguing that cars (along with all associated costs like fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc) be provided free of charge to every person? If there's no spots available at the current price, then the current price is too low. There are costs associated with vehicle ownership and usage, and you are welcome to find alternatives if you do not want to pay them. I work at a hospital and people always lament that they wish the on-site parking was free so they didn't have to park several blocks away. I don't know why they don't realize that if the parking was free, it would be packed full 24/7. |

You're putting words in my mouth here, nowhere have I suggested anything like that. Please at least argue in good faith.

You're making an assumption that the only variable is the cost of parking, and that the desire of the system is to ensure maximum utilisation. It's not. The desire of the system is to stop people driving into city centres and parking their cars there while they work
