The "D" Word
The concept that people "own" the parking on the street near their home or office is what led to the shooting and murder by the crazy neighbor in April in Poway. Let's drop that idea right away. If a city or any agency provides a service, it should be for the greater good. Not always free, but for the greater good. Where there is a higher level of demand for parking, it should be offered to those willing to pay. The alternative is always there, to park further away and walk. If someone wants parking at a specific place, they should procure it for them selves. I believe that housing and commercial establishments should be required to provide off street parking for their tenants. Just seems like it is the right thing to do. Why should people be allowed to rely on the city to provide their parking? That garage that was converted into an extra room, convert it back! When you took out the garage to build a 4 plex, did you consider where everyone would park? Let's start to take care of our own needs. It is the civil and grown up thing to do.— April 30, 2010 10:17 p.m.
