Parking Lot Silliness:
In Charlottesville they are building apartments for students without providing adequate parking. They are only requiring 1 space for every 2 apartments despite the fact that the apartments are primarily for students who will probably each have a car. It's a vast improvement over the 1 space for 8 bedroom requirement origonally envisioned. Still, it comes across as a scam. We all know that students provide particulalry wonderful sources of income for local governments thru tickets, tickets, towing, and more tickets. What better way to guarantee the continuation - nay, the growth - of such an income stream than to make sure there aren't enough legal spaces?1
(2) And in Des Moines, someone came up with a unique solution to some speed bumps that were bothering him. It didn't last but he gave it a try.
1 Yeah, yeah, I saw the part in the article about using mass transit. I just don't believe that anyone is stupid enough to believe that a UVA student is going to go to the mall or movie theater by bus. They know full well that these students will almost all have cars and they are taking advantage.
