I can understand your frustration but on the other hand as a business owner, home owner and landlord of several homes< i do not feel the city is strict enough with parking requirements for new comercial and residential in the city

a restaurant opened beside my business. we all knew(area residents and other businesses) the restaurant did not have adequate parking

Sure enough the restaurant customers were soon parking in our spots. Then the city gave them a patio permit which further reduced the restaurant parking spots and their customers imposed further on the surrounding residents and businesses by taking more of our spots

Its great to say, there is a lot nearby or customers can street park but human nature is such that people want to park as close as possible to the door they want to enter. And almost no one wants to pay to park if they can avoid it

Think of my frustration of paying taxes for 25 years and having the city loosely giving business permits without adequate parking so now my customers have no spots to park

The city has allowed developers to build condos with ".8" thats point eight parking spots per unit. Where is the other ".2" part of the car supposed to park-obviously in business or residental spots that are already at a premium

if you look at parking in any city from either point of view its a hassle that isnt easily solved

in a utopian world we would have lovely weather and everyone would walk or take public transit and never have to think about parking spots
