I have moved to the downtown area recently and, to my dismay, discovered that it is impossible to sign up for permanent parking in any of the existing structures. They are all fully booked. Nor do residents get a sticker that relieves them of the 2 hour limit for parking on most streets in the area.
Economics 101 tells us that if something is in short supply, the price should go up. Why not increase the price of monthly parking and use the proceeds to build a new structure? If the city wants a vibrant downtown in which people actually live, parking should not be an obstacle, especially given the abundance of empty lots around.
