Paying for Parking

This radio program (attached below) about parking will make you think the next time you are looking for a spot to park your car.  It’s quite the eye opener. 

I have had some experience related to parking spaces.  At a previous job, I thought that it made sense to try to change a hierarchal method of allocating parking spaces.  Up to that point free parking was provided to those who worked in certain positions or had been there a long time while others had to fend for themselves.  Why not change to a system where the cost of parking would be spread equally across all those who used parking.  Factor in the “free” spaces and make it equitable. As leader of the group I made the pitch for change.  It made a lot of sense and it was fair to all.  I thought. We held a confidential vote.  When the smoke cleared nothing changed and I decided to never try to touch parking space allotment again.  People who make decisions and carry out allocation of office spaces and parking spots deserve being put forward for awards of bravery.
