This is what’s going to happen. Already struggling businesses won’t get the weekend bump in business because people don’t want to pay for parking. I won’t go to Rockville Towne center because I have to pay so I’ll go to a different shopping center with the same stores. There are thousands of people like me.

I love our county and our resources, but I also feel that funds are mismanaged, and then they come back again and again with new fees and new taxes to make up for their mismanagement.

I can see it now, soon will be paying for parking at the county libraries, health centers, and even county parks.

It's $1.50-$2.25 per hour.

You want to be able to store your private car for free on public property? That sounds like socialism.

dp.. free? We already pay a lot in taxes.

So you support free buses and Metro?

Don’t you have anything better to do?

Are you just posting the same cliche in every thread?

Maybe they’ll use the money to police carjacking 😉.

If you don't want to pay for parking, then don't park in the garage or lot. Problem solved.

WTF
