I live in Reston, and here are the reasons I am opposed to the parking fees:
- Aside from the Metro station, none of the other shopping centers in the Reston area charge for parking.  Neither do any of the malls that are closest to RTC (Fair Oaks, Dulles Town Center, Tysons I and Tysons II).
- The paid parking solution is convoluted.  It's not like you take a ticket on the way in and pay on the way out.  You have to download an app, visit a pay station, or pay by phone.  There are 4 pay stations but 7 garages.  You have to provide your license plate when you park for parking enforcement purposes.  You pay upfront based upon the amount of time you expect to spend at RTC, rather than paying for the actual amount of time you are there.
- A few stores plan to validate, but the validation process if you don't use their app is wonky (basically, they aren't validating that day's visit, but giving you a coupon for validation at a future visit).  
- Not all the employers at RTC will reimburse their staff for parking expenses.  It's a shame that RTC didn't take their retail tenants (and their staff) into account when making this switch.
