@goldfish Parking does not need to be bundled with the store merchandise cost to make the business competitive with businesses outside of DC. The Walmart should have a cost to its parking. Maybe it's $1/hr (give or take) and not $8-10/hr, but there still should be a transparent cost to parking. This is similar to bundling luggage with plane tickets. I've heard my relatives complain about airlines who "charge" for parking when in reality all airlines charge for parking, it's just whether you automatically "pay" for luggage vs it being added on after your ticket. Let the market take over by requiring transparency. The average person has no idea of the staggering costs of driving that are paid and thus makes uninformed, unincentivized decisions.
