You're right, Smith Castle, parking should be free. It used to be free, then the City said that those nasty State workers were bogarting all the parking spaces, let's punish them by putting in meters.
But, having worked downtown for the State, we didn't park on the streets. We parked in the parking underneath the buildings.
It was just a lame excuse to extort more money from downtown patrons and the result is: fewer people coming downtown to shop. Never mind the poor people who owned houses on the sidestreets and one day a meter popped up in front of their home and the resident told they had to pay to park in front of their own home.
