I think what would make Reggie's point more convincing is that, if in your example, the spots closest to the 'dome is $24 and the ones by 25th Ave are $12, then no one would (should) make a fuss about it, you either pay it or someone else with more money will.

This random designated spot thing is pissing everyone off because some groups are getting what some might consider undeserved special treatment--but Reggie's and some others people's argument is that businesses will cater to those who they think are richer/have more money to spend, hence these BS "reserved" spots, and because us Canadians are generally nice & gullible people , we will generally obey the signs even thought they are unenforceable by law.

That's what I got from his post anyways.
