That's... absurd. Did you spend that time looking for a free hotel as well? Or a free restaurant?
And if you think more parking fixes traffic I suggest you visit Los Angeles. Or even just San Jose.
- ars 8y agoI think he means free as in available, not free as in no cost.
- CalRobert 8y agoI'm nearly certain he meanh no cost. Sf has instituted market rate street parking in some places and also has a number of garages where I've generally had no trouble finding a space, provided I paid.
- burfog 8y agoI mean no cost. Of course I'm not going to pay for parking. Maybe you think it is normal to pay. I don't. I have paid a few times in over 2 decades of driving a car. I can mostly remember them because I'm still angry: I paid to park in Boston in 2001, near the courthouse. I sort of paid at a park-and-ride place for an airport, but that included a bus ride. I got parking stickers for a couple colleges. I paid the "parking fee" at the Air and Space Museum Annex in Virginia, which is really a cheating way to charge admission. I think that's it. The problem is that some people are willing to patronize places without free parking. If people didn't do that, we'd all have free parking.
- lambdadmitry 8y agoAmazing that some people value their time THAT cheap. Seriously, a couple bucks for 3 hours? Do you want to work for me?
