    Good. Why are MY tax dollars being used to subsidize everyone else’s parking?

      I’ve started to ask myself this more and more. Why is on street free parking (or even metered, but in a crowded core area) a value choice we make in our cities?

      I’m still chewing on the concept, but once I considered challenging that status quo, it opened a lot of new approaches to what is considered a right vs exploiting the common city resources for individual use.

      I’d go further. Why would anyone’s tax dollars be used to subsidise anything?

        So that healthcare and education, among other things, are more equitable. Taxes are for subsidising a public good.
