[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Parking by students at Au law is up before the Council too. Point is, if DC has a permit for them and they got one, then they paid to park. If the driver of the car above is using a visitor pass they got from a resident in that zone so they would not have to obtain the proper permit from the city, then they did not pay the city to park. That person is lying and cheating every time they park there.

No one here has explained why they think it is ethical to park for free where you are supposed to pay to park. Just all over OP for pointing out that you are lying and cheating and you're cheap too. If you can't defend your actions at least have the balls to own them. Truth hurts. [/quote]

You go first - please explain why it is "ethical" for the city to limit parking for students who go to school in affluent neighborhoods, when they live in the city, and have a valid parking permit.  [/quote]

DC, like most cities in the US, limits parking in high traffic areas by people who do not live in that area, regardless of whether they live in another area of the city and have a valid parking permit for that area or not and regardless of whether they are students or not.  A student living in DC can get either a residential parking permit or a reciprocity permit for the parking zone where they live. If that permit is valid for the zone where they go to school, then they can park near school using that permit. If not, they can't.  Why should students be treated any differently than anyone else?  Also, AU law has its own parking policy which prohibits student without a valid residential parking permit for that zone from parking on the residential streets around the law school. [/quote]
