Then I was in an accident and rented out the second spot for a few years for another $400/month, and it was frankly obscene that I could rent two parking spaces for that much. But I guess that's what happens when the majority of the units came with one parking space, and little to no street parking. This wasn't even downtown, but west by Shaganappi golf course.
Ditto. It's one thing if it's just one party and one vehicle, but adding any additional parties to the equation just makes it too big of pain in my ass - especially if whomever I'm going with is older, has young kids, suburbanites, or anyone who's unaccustomed to not being able to park a stone's throw away from the door.
I have noticed Inglewood is more friendly for this. There's a large parking lot just south of the Bow (across 12th from Rouge) that always has ample parking. I'm honestly surprised its still free.

And Mission has multiple above and below ground pay lots that are relatively inexpensive. I’m curious what areas have such a bad parking crunch for outings. Kensington and Bridgeland? Certainly nowhere downtown.
Are people really not gonna go for dinner because they have to pay $3 for parking? It’s not like there will actually be any more available spaces on a Friday or Saturday night just because of this rule. Its still going to be dominated by people with permits.
