    The other crazy bit: Shouldn’t all of these “the market will solve everything” people be 100% on board with charging for the space? It’s just the city ensuring the most efficient use of the space using market costs?

    Of course, as soon as they have to pay for the resources they’re using they scream bloody murder. The same people are often 100% on board with saying “busses need to be profitable!” … while parking infrastructure needs to be 100% subsidized for their needs.

      Conservatives don’t say things because they’re true. They say things because they think it will get them what they want.

        And sometimes they just say dumb shit and have no clue what they are talking about. My neighbour is a trumper, and holy shit, the ignorant shit she says would blow your mind! lol

      Yeah someone on the local paper website was commenting about how we need to stop the train that connects our city to the bay area because it requires tax money to support the lower fare, but we have tons of roads and parking that cost a ton more
