[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're a garage owner, and you could fill your garage at $8/hour, why would you charge less? The city owns a bunch of parking spaces; if they can fill them at $8/hour, why should they charge less? (I don't know if $8 is the right amount. If they charge $8 and there are bunches of spots unused, then they should lower the price.)[/quote] Is the DC government a business now?[/quote] You're not answering the PP's question. "The city owns a bunch of parking spaces; [u]if they can fill them at $8/hour, why should they charge less[/u]?"[/quote] The city could also charge people $10,000 a month for running water. Should they do that too?[/quote] Everybody uses water. There's no point in charging more for it. Parking hoarders are privatizing a scares resource for themselves, and so should pay more. [/quote]
