It was a couple of posts about the cost of parking everywhere else. Why should it necessarily be free? I guess my only other city comparison is Rome, and therefore not really valid, but you're not gonna find gigantic free parking lots to ride the metro there. Why should every citizen of calgary be paying taxes for the City to own massive pieces of real estate, and sometimes expensive parkades for people to just use for free? I never park there, but my taxes reflect the fact that the city owns that land. And then there's the plug ins. Who is paying for that if the user isn't? All of us, that's who. Screw that!
