    A lot of campus locations lack good public transit or local retail access for necessities.

    When you don’t support any kind of parking you also make it difficult for people who have full time jobs or are continuing education as adults. Single parents also go to school, I know, I was in college as a child(obviously not enrolled.)

      When you support more parking you ironically only make this problem even worse. Look up “induced demand.” Not to mention increased tuition (avg cost of garages is in the tens of thousands per spot) and butt ugly campuses filled with parking garages.

      The real solution is more alternatives to driving so that only the people who actually have to drive do.

      So that’s the problem, that’s what needs to be fixed. Not more parking.

        People are too selfish in this country to consider that public services like transit end up making everything more comfortable, cheaper and better for everyone.

        Expecting everyone to use a car from point A to point B means everyone has to pay to insure and maintain their car, then sit in traffic 1-2+ hours a day for their commute to where the jobs are that pay more than minimum wage and cause gridlock for everybody. Plus we all burn extra gas to make sure we accelerate the climate damage even further. It’s the motherfucking american way. oorah support our troops, bless your heart, thoughts and prayers!

        So moronic.
