I admittedly skipped a few pages here, so my apologies if I missed someone else saying this.

The point of a public service is not "supply and demand". Frankly just because they could theoretically charge $500/month for someone to park beside the LRT doesn't mean that the city should. Same argument for education, or healthcare or basically any other service that the government provides for its citizens...the goal is not profit.
