OR even though you pay money for a parking spot YOU ARENT GUARANTEED ONE

A movie is $20. If you watched as many movies as college classes (let’s say 4 a day- 150 days a year) you’d spend $12k a year on movies. Parking isn’t free. Air fare can easily be in the thousands of dollars- parking at the airport isn’t free. Most large cities have buildings. Ordinances liminting the number of parking spaces around new construction. Why? To de-incentivize driving. Congestion, risk, and environmental impact are increased as traffic increases. Proportionally facilities and substrate degrade faster, more controls and regulatory personnel are required, etc. there is an expense associated with traffic, and beyond that is flooring. That land has a value, if the institution were to sell that land and have no parking facilities- profit. If they rent it or develop it- profit. If they allow its use free.... no profit, all expense. So they make those who use parking shoulder the cost of parking. I would have loved free parking in college, but I understand why it isn’t.

Free parking at my university! On the other hand my friend has to pay about $500 for a non-assured spot.

I bet there was a charge for parking when Jsnow turned in his tuition check so he knew damn well what the game was when he entered. So he's not pointing out some grand observation of injustice, he's really just whining.
