One of the best ways to ensure there are spots available is to charge appropriately for them, but this has generally met with resistance.

- treflop 3y agoI think a lot of paid parking has a lot of additional stress * trying to figure out if you are being ripped off, so you keep driving around to make sure there isn’t some much cheaper option * in some spots, worrying about having to go back and pay additional money if you are taking too long * worrying about leaving your car overnight My favorite paid parking area is downtown Pomona, California where there are a ton of city-run parking lots with easy payment with very affordable prices and even an option to extend your time until the morning just in case (and it’s like $2). Zero parking stress whenever I go to see a concert there.
- CalRobert 3y agoSure, but charging so little for such valuable land is effectively a subsidy for storing your private property on public land. Ideally there's: * market-rate parking (ensuring there are always spots) * a parking benefit district to benefit the area * No rules forcing people to build parking, instead letting the market decide the best use of land
