Showing up at Dalhousie at 8am and getting a spot this morning was great. Thank you cheap asses who feel $3 is worth hunting for spots in neighborhoods!

Will you pay if they charge $5, $10, $20??
It's easy to brush off the $3 bucks a day if you are a dink cube dweller type with a pinky ring and matching pocket protector. For a lot of people an extra $600-700 a year adds up.
I'm pretty sure they don't have to build extra freeways to lead into Dalhousie and Somerset. The reality is that you'll have to spend more on roads if you've got more people driving because the city creates a disincentive to take the train.
If anything they should charge for the lots close to the core and charge more for taking the train at the stops furthest from the core.
How come people who are in favor of this haven't commented on my suggestion of putting toll booths at Prince's Island Park???
