i live in a area where parking is free. hell my town doesn't even have parking meters
10/10 on the rant. So in a nutshell pregnant Mexican teens forced your fair city to install parking meters? My fair city installed them because it was politically easier than raising property taxes. Greedy old people hate property taxes but want public services.If you’re compiling stats, put me down as $3 per 20 min in the UCLA area.
don't be silly how would he have done that? It's not like he was towing rocks in his corolla.
really? no paid parking lots or parking meters in all of England?I suppose this is one of those "not taxes" that you love to pay over there.
You pay to park on a public street, you pay to a company to park on a street that you pay taxes to use...
LOL, Americanos, locos... /Manuel, craaaaaazy, they are craaaaaazy
really? no paid parking lots or parking meters in all of England?
*sigh*
Just another thing that I miss out on due to not living in the city. Congestion, noise, paying for parking...
you guys are nuts to want to live in the city.
$40/month at work. I started taking the bus recently and that's only $5/month.
Only time I ever pay for parking is if I go downtown to Chicago. Usually I pay $1 or $2 to park at the train station, or, if I drive into the city, then it's rape, like $10-20.
fucking $400 a month, and its 4 blocks from my apt, and I have to call 30 mins in advance to get my car out.
fuck nyc.
Before going to Europe on business, a man drives his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and asks for an immediate loan of $5,000. The loan officer, taken aback, requests collateral.
"Well then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce," the man says. The loan officer promptly has the car driven into the bank's underground parking for safe keeping and gives the man the $5,000.
Two weeks later, the man walks through the bank's doors and asks to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest," the loan officer says. The man writes out a check and starts to walk away.
"Wait, sir," the loan officer says. "You are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?" The man smiles,
"Where else could I find a safer place to park my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?"
Graduated from UCLA in 2009, paid $540 for the year. Got out right before the budget went to hell. To compensate for the deficit and loss in state funding, they just raised the fees and parking to insane numbers while cutting back on class requirements (no more second writing 2 required) and facility hours (there was no night powell for a while).
My freshman year, a daily pass was $7. Now it's $11. Freshman year, fees for the year ran ~$8k... now it's $11k.
I think they also need to raise money for all the dorms they're building (de neve G and H) + the expensive renovation of pauley pavilion.
