[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retail and foot traffic will fail when areas charge for parking. Paying for parking is like paying for shipping. We hate it. 
Rockville town center has this problem and so does National Harbor. 
If these places want people to come and wander around on weekends to eat and shop there needs to be incentives. Paying to park when other places are free isn’t it. [/quote]

This.  There isn't enough people in DC metro desperate to pay for parking when there are alternative shopping/dining locations where parking is easy/free/cheap.  Mostly local people would visit once in a while for a specific restaurant, walking around the waterfront and/or a show/casino, etc.  But it's too tedious to bother for practical reasons when there are malls, outlets, various suburban fake "towns", and DC proper where you can find free street parking for a couple of hours or more garage options that are reasonably priced.   Navy Yard garage operators think it's Manhattan  :lol: [/quote]
