I think cities are anti-car by design, you've basically got two choices as a city designer, you can make spaces for people (apartments, houses and whatnot) or you can make places for cars.
So basically you shouldn't be taking your car into the city, you should park outside the city and take mass transit into the city. In Boston the Alewife T station is a great place to park, cheap parking and right on the Red line into the city. -Curt Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:13:44 -0400 From: Larry T <l02tur...@comcast.net> To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] I cant believe it went this high Message-ID: <520b8288.3040...@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed one thing I dislike about cities is the difficulty parking. It's as if many (most? all?) cities are Anti-car! Parking is either illegal, time-limited to 15 or 30 minutes, or only available in parking decks at high cost. . Then the cities leaders complain that no one comes downtown anymore. Gee, I wonder why? The leaders always seem ready to spend millions of tax $$s on what they call "improvements" to attract shoppers but the always seem to be financial flops. We always seem to elect people who have no experience managing money, companies, etc and put them in positions of power where they are responsible for millions or billions in tax dollars.
