I agree:
I put 200,000+ miles on each of three cars, mostly commuting to work. Soooo, that was a lot of money, all after tax -- buy the car, usually on time so that there was interest, pay for insurance, fuel, maintenance, tolls, parking. All those expenses should have been pre-tax money, "unreimbursed business expenses" like, say, professional text books at least long were.

- jackvalentine 10y agoWe have this exact argument at my company. The parking is insufficient and costs money, so the drivers would like cheaper more plentiful parking. The non-drivers catch the bus or pay extra to live in the surrounding suburbs so they can walk in. Neither side will see the others point of view.
- CalRobert 10y agoDon't know where you're located, but attempts to handle this have been made via parking cashout laws (https://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/tsaq/cashout/cashout.htm https://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/tsaq/cashout/cashout.htm) When I was brand new in my career I got about $200 a month for not using a parking spot in Santa Monica. It was a nice little bonus.
- jackvalentine 10y agoThat would actually work - our company has its own campus and (mostly) controls its own parking.
- CalRobert 10y agoI pay more in rent so I can live close to my job. I walk to work. Should I be able to expense my rent?
