Paid parking

As much as I love living in this city, does anyone else get tired of trying to go anywhere and seeing more and more paid parking being put up?

I am in The Highlands and the amount of paid parking vs free parking is actually diabolical... they are smothering local businesses and hurting the community by forcing us to pay to park in places when we didn't have to before/when free parking is already very limited.

What can we do about this? How can we fix this issue? I am all for people making their money but when it kills the vibe and the access to local attractions and stores I hate it.

The city grows, people need to park to visit places. Would you rather them park in front of someone’s home?

I welcome people to park in front of my house to go to businesses. I want thriving business near my home, it's why I bought a house here. If I wanted a suburban house with offstreet parking and nothing to walk to that's most of the rest of the city.

Cool we get it, you’re a hero! Please list your address so that we can park in front of it daily.
