And if you force the government to inefficiently reserve street space for cars, society has to incur the same costs, except non-car owners are forced to unfairly subsidize car owners by bearing those costs.
- bartvk 6y agoPerhaps I'm misunderstanding something but in what sense see non-car owners subsidizing car owners?
- esoterica 6y agoNon-car-owners pay taxes which go towards the cost of reserving land for car owners to park their cars on.
- iso1631 6y agoA quick google shows car parking in Paris seems to be in the 100-150 euros a month range, which is pretty cheap to be fair. If you're paying less than that, you're being subsidised by the land owner (the city, and thus the residents of that city) There is always land available to buy, €10k per square metre for this property for example: https://tranio.com/france/adt/1928891/ https://tranio.com/france/adt/1928891/ Maybe that's too much to park your car, but land has a cost, why should a car owner be allwoed to store their property on public land for free? Can I build a shed in that space instead?
