[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great idea. Metered parking for EVERYONE would be the most equitable. No more free lunch for rich folks in million dollar mansions when there is so much need across the city.[/quote]

How exactly are we getting a free lunch? Do you not understand that our property taxes fund the city?[/quote]

Your property taxes pay for your house, not the road in front of you. If you want to rent space on the public road to park your car, you should pay up. Regular middle class DC taxpayers should not be subsidizing rich city dwellers like you so you can warehouse your oversize Mercedes SUVs on public property for free.[/quote]

Thanks but I have a driveway. And 4 cars. [/quote]

Don't worry, soon they will come and also put a parking meter on your driveway. This DC Council is out of control.[/quote]

Imagine being unable to distinguish between public policy with respect to storing your private property (a car) on public property (the street), and public policy with respect to storing your private property (a car) on private property (your driveway). :roll: [/quote]

Imagine not knowing that anything past your front door is technically city property, in most cases.

"Technically"? Is it private property, or is it not private property? If the driveway is on public property, then the driveway is not on private property; it's on public property. [/quote]

In most cases, anything beyond your front door in DC is public property, including driveways. This would never happen, but the city could legally charge you to park in your driveway.[/quote]
