    At $25/month, it’s still a massive subsidy provided by all citizens…

    $25 is laughable for the amount of real estate the car takes up and the inconvenience and opportunity cost for literally everyone except the driver…

    People use their cars as storage lockers in my neighborhood… the car sits there all year round stuffed FULL of junk. why pay $100/mo for a storage space when you the city will give you 50sqft public space for 25$

      So $1000/month would get you 2,000sq ft of real estate.

      I’d love to rent a 2,000sqft appartement in Toronto for $1000/mo

        Yes, so you agree that charging $25/month is actually insanely cheap.

        Yet drivers are always complaining about parking fees and saying shit like “bike lanes take up parking space! Bikers dont pay permit fees like drivers!!”

        We can provide $1000/mo for 2000sqft of habitation for cars, but $25000/mo for 600sqft of living space for humans

        Housing for cars prioritized over housing for humans
