Our government loves to tell people what to do, but doesn't have much of a plan for what to do when they don't listen.

Either it's a business-killing money grab, OR it will be widely ignored. Choose one.

Not really seeing why it's one or the other.

The price of riding the bus in DC went up 12 percent this year. Some accepted the increase and paid it. Some stopped riding the bus. Most said FU I'm not paying anything to ride the bus and I dare you to stop me.

Why would this be any different? DDOT is talking about increasing the cost of street parking, in some circumstances, by more than 1,000 percent.

In other words, an increase from 25 cents an hour to 8 dollars an hour? Math is fun!

Pfft. Drivers pay for everything. We finance roads in this country through a combination of taxes and fees. Drivers pay the gas tax. They pay outrageous registration and inspection and tag fees to the city. They pay laughably expensive traffic citations. Both DC and the feds have a highly progressive tax system, which means rich people pay nearly all the taxes. You think your surgeon doesn't drive a car?

If you're a bike riding car hater who makes low six figures (or less), you're the freeloader here.

Okay, I can’t follow 20 pages of comments, but does this new policy impact residential parking permit holders? I like street parking and don’t want to pay $8 an hour to park my car outside my row house.

The wharf is also served by metrobus.

It is also very close to the L'Enfant stop - exit by the Spy Museum, walk down the promenade and down the stairs and you are right there.

There's going to be a lot less residential parking.

Street parking in Adams Morgan should cost 25 cents an hour because surgeons drive cars!

Way to duck the point that drivers pay for everything. Also, parking in Adams Morgan costs $2.30 an hour.

That was your point? Then your point is incorrect.

It's for your own good. Just like the congestion and camera tickets. Who doesn't love an activist ideological government?

If you don't like getting tickets from the cameras, all you have to do is stop at stop signs, and not speed.
