More rent seeking. Some company convinced cities that pay for parking would make the city money…with a nice cut for the company.

Edit: the parking is already paid for because taxes paid to pave the roads where the parking is. Paid parking is an additional tax with a corporate middleman skimming off the top.

it's more about the city not losing money by offering parking for free. infrastructure and space aren't cheap

now the private companies, fuck those

We already pay for that parking with the taxes that paid for the paving of the roads. This is double-dipping. They aren’t “losing” anything.
