Reply to comment by throwawaitnine in TIL that my neighbor who rents in a multi unit house has not one but four vehicles parked on our block by RoverTheMonster
I would (and do) feel fine. Again: I'm actively advocating for the parking fees to be so high that a significant number of people decide it's not worth it and get rid of their cars. My wife and I and my kids can take a bus just fine like people do in urban areas all over the world.
I don't know about you (or anyone else who apparently just has to do whatever they're told), but I've been told since grade school that we can't keep driving the way we do because of climate change. Now we're seeing the effects of that in real-time but people keep making excuses for why they just won't try to cut back on driving.
If people were incentived to do this, they can be incentived to do differently. I'm not special; if I can figure out how to do without a car, everyone else can, too.
And one more time for the kids in the back: I hope they do raise the parking price so high I can't afford it. If a candidate comes up for office promising that, I'll vote for them. I support making driving harder and more expensive and transit cheaper, easier and better in literally every single circumstance.

What I'm telling you is that this is changing the city by picking winners and losers and you are saying you don't care about the losers and you don't even care if you're a loser and I don't think that you're being honest, but I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
