@parking: If you want to consider a parking fee a tax on District residents, then why not also note that a below-market fee is a subsidy for car owners?

"Yet you want to charge District residents who have the "sad misfortune" of not being six figure earners living in SFH's or 700K 2 bedroom condos in the cities most expensive neighborhoods that also happen to have close walking access to overlaping multi modes of public transport and instead have to make do in regular ol apartment buildings in every other part of town and who can't give up their car because their job/lifestyle doesn't allow it."

I'm confused. Are you arguing that people who need to own a car, but can't afford a place with a parking space, should be encouraged to live in areas with the best access to public transportation while also owning cars, and that this should be done by subsidizing parking for these people?
