The Consumerist posted a quick note this afternoon talking about a potential rebellion in Chicago against the new parking meter rates. While there’s a long way to go before we see any actual boycott-type actions, there is no doubt that some real resentment is rising in the streets.
And it’s absolutely warranted, especially when you factor in the additional rate hikes that were built into the contract. $3 an hour parking coming to a Lakeview street near you.
But the reality is that there’s nowhere else to park. There are only so many garages, all of which are much more expensive anyway. What’s left?

That's why you increase the price. Supply and demand.
Winnipeg, located at the junction of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers, is the capital and the largest city of Manitoba. It is also known as The Gateway to the West as it is situated near the longitudinal centre of North America. The name Winnipeg comes from the Cree word meaning “muddy waters”, and First Nations people generally populated the city for thousands of years.
