Then the businesses should pay for customer parking. Why does that have to be socialized at the expense of everybody else?
A commuter may only be at one point briefly, but, they pass through many points on their route to work. And they do it daily across the span of years. Multiplied by thousands of commuters.
They're probably right. Have you ever tried to drop off a package at a UPS store that has no parking anywhere near it?
Local businesses pay taxes and provide jobs. They are there on the street all day every day, while any commuter is there for a fraction of a second. Shafting them should be an obvious political non-starter.
