[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) It's a relatively tiny area of NW.
2) The $8/hour is only from 6pm-3am (ie, nightlife time)
3) [b]The purpose is to encourage street parking spots to turn over frequently, which I am all for.[/b]

Street parking should be expensive and, in high demand zones, it should primarily serve people who want to park for an hour or less. If you're coming for a night out? Find a garage.[/quote]

So we're going to require people who are getting completely hammered in bars to move their car frequently because they will be worried about the meter, and then they will have to drive around for 45 minutes (while inebriated) looking for a new parking spot. What could possibly go wrong? [/quote]

But it's ok for people who are getting completely hammered in bars to move their car infrequently (for example, to drive home)?

Here's my idea: we should disincentive people who plan to get completely hammered in bars from driving, at all. For example, by charging for street parking, and requiring drivers to move their cars frequently.[/quote]
