Free parking is destroying the planet
Hey citizen, you won't find Free Parking in the Constitution. So pay up.
The California state senator who two years ago tried to make it easier for communists to teach in public schools, has introduced a new bill that would incentivize local governments to begin abolishing free parking spaces within their jurisdictions. That’s right, the goal is to make it so difficult for drivers to find parking that they give up their earth-killing vehicles in favor of eco-friendly public transportation. Or ride a bike. Or walk.
The author of Senate Bill 518, Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach), says “‘free’ parking has significant social, economic, and environmental costs.”
So does spewing bullshit, senator.
First they intend to horrify tenants at the cost of free parking in their lots by forcing the itemization of each space in the lease.
Second–and this is the real guts of the bill–it creates a crazy new point scheme for the city or county to “encourage” cooperation of property owners in abandoning parking. If the local government earns enough points, it gets rewarded by the state. If 20 points are earned, local government gets a cap-and-trade credit; if 50 points are earned they get a 5% bonus in competitive state infrastructure programs.
Everyone wins but the citizens who like lower taxes, less government and FREE PARKING.
So what’s the excuse they give the public for this bill? Yup, you guessed it: global warming. And some wonder why governments of all levels are pushing climate change, despite its crumbling “evidence.”

Good way to kill off any retail businesses that have managed to survive this long (especially ones that sell items too big to carry home on a bike). That’s the whole point of this exercise, right?
When I saw this I could not believe it.
This is a carbon
copy of a scheme Brown and the eco socialists are trying to get started here. The definitely have a global agenda for global warming

This is why California is going bankrupt. The idiots up there worry about things like free parking and feng shui (yes there is indeed a law requiring this when state offices are moved or re-furnished), but heaven forbid they should worry about anything important! The classic fiddling while Rome burns syndrome.
Another brilliant Democratic mind working to take my beautiful state down the toilet… phhhhtttttt!
