Why is the University allowed to accept tuition from more students than it has parking spaces? How would a student unable to park be able to attend classes? I can see using parking fees to allocate more desirable parking spaces, but effectively preventing tuition paying students from being able to attend classes is not acceptable (my opinion).

By walking between close-together classes, and bicycling or taking buses whenever longer distances need to be covered? This just sounds so alien to me... If I can't bring my gigantic metal box and engine with me, how am I supposed to get places?
- Sharlin 7y agoThese are the sort of topics where the US-ness of HN really shines through. Though it’s true that if the alternatives to driving require infrastructure that does not exist in many places then they’re not really short-term solutions.
- anoncake 7y agoHell, at least in warm areas motorcycles are pretty much a drop-in replacement for cars and still require less infrastructure.
- beatgammit 7y agoThe vast majority of universities are accessible by more than just cars, such as buses/shuttles, biking, and walking. If all else fails, you can organise your own shuttle service through carpooling. I don't see why students who don't use parking should subsidise those that do. Driving is a preference and is absolutely not mandatory, so it should be paid for separately.
- cortesoft 7y agoIt is quite interesting that you seem to think driving your own car is the only way to get to school.
