@darren I strongly agree with that. The first and most important step is to show people that they are paying for parking. Even if it were required to be itemized out without the option to opt out of paying the fee, it shows that there is a cost. Therefore, people realize it costs more to drive / offer parking then they thought. I do also strongly agree with unbundling so that people have the option to not pay for parking.

@goldfish I disagree. Yes, there are differences between K St and NY Avenue. The market rates of the parking are different. However, in both locations there is a cost to the parking that should be transparently exposed so that users have options and can make choices. I went to a concern a number of years ago at FedEx Field. The ticket listed that it included like a $20 or $25 parking fee. However, I took Metro there. Yet I still ended up paying for parking. This should not happen. If people are forced to pay for parking through such bundling, of course developers will build the parking. Unbundling changes that dynamic.
