Whenever I was eating at a restaurant, I was very pleased to see a sign that there was a "free parking lot" behind the restaurant in front of the restaurant. This means I can save a few dollars for the parking lot and have dinner. I think that most people have the same experience finding free parking spaces. However, even if a free parking lot is displayed, the parking lot will not be free. We paid money for something, but I did not notice it. In 2013, Paul Kennedy said at his CBC radio his speech plan "parking lot will cause even major economic, environmental, and social problems" ("pay parking fee").
Of course, free parking is not free. The costs of construction of parking lots, cleaning of parking lots, lighting, repairing and fixing will be handed to people using the building connected to it. Meals and movie tickets at restaurants are more expensive; apartments are more expensive; office workers may pay less. Everyone pays whether they drive or not. This is an unfortunate distribution effect because young people are less driving than middle-aged people and poor people drive fewer than rich people.
It does not make sense for everyone to become accustomed to these arrangements. It is easy to find a town space full of parking lots. However, the overall cost is huge. Because the parking lot is very rich, it's free because it's free and people are always using it too. According to a survey in Washington DC, 97% of free parking availability is related to the possibility of someone driving alone. Demand for plenty parking lot creates asphalt desert, vibrant and beautiful city. Money and land wasted in the parking lot makes everyone's life more expensive, even for those who do not drive a car. The parking fee for the Los Angeles shopping mall increased by 67% - more if these spaces are in the basement
The parking threshold is reasonable, usually because free parking is good. Unfortunately, when something is free it tends to overuse it - just like water, electricity ... free. Spatial resources in growing urban areas are more restricted and all transport options - private cars are the most expensive vehicles, which is especially a problem. Economists explain that the minimum requirements for parking lots are in fact hidden subsidies for some people and cost to others.
If you have a car you will know how hard it is to find a paid parking space in a crowded city. If you lived in the country you would know how easy it is to find a free and convenient parking space. The traffic police write a ticket and then mail it to the village's store for parking on the street. There is no traffic lights and traffic jams. The huge pressure of urban life has corrupted many people. There are many crimes in this town. Many thefts and murders often occur in cities. At the same time, there are more cars in the city, causing frequent traffic accidents. In the village, traffic accidents are very few. Another factor that puts you in danger is fashion, most of it spreading from one city to another. People living in cities are more prone to many diseases because of their sedentary lifestyle and fast food intake. These things are increasingly impossible in the country
