It's still hilarious that a $300-500 parking pass is a logical option for those who live on their own and pay for their own school. My calculations were pretty basic (and based on 6 months since two full semesters are split nicely into 6 month periods) but whether you have 800 or 2000 left over after everything but food, a parking pass that uses 25-60% of your disposable income IS hilarious.
Buy one if you want, but saying it's easily affordable by everyone is a joke. Plus, school is CLEARLY more expensive than it was when you went 10-15 years ago. Especially Mount Royal.
At the end of the day, regardless of how affordable it is, if you're asking whether I'll pay 300 to park, or have an extra 300 for absolutely anything else? ...yeah, I'm going to go ahead and park in front of someone's house for free.

Go nuts. Lucky for you most people take responsibility for themselves and pay to park in designated parking spots. If everybody had your attitude, the "right" to park willy-nilly all over neighbourhoods would be taken away everywhere. Like in the Kensington area and other places where you need a sticker - that originates from communities fighting back against freeloaders parking where it's rude to park instead of in designated lots.
