Usapang Parking

BGC parking has never been easy, that is if you wanna park somewhere really near the place where you are going.  Case in point, the open parking near where I work is just infront of our building but, there are certain days when we needed to park like a block or two away simply because there is a loooooong queue of card who wanna park. 
Sigh.

Is this a sign that a lot of people can afford to buy cars?  Is this a sign that a car is now a necessity?

Or - one can see it in a different light - that this could be a sign that most businesses prefer to consruct tall buildings than keep a peice of land for parking? 

It can be one - or it can be both. 

In any case, this is a sign that there is really a poor public transport system in this country - leading people to buy their own cars instead of queueing to get on a bus or a jeep or train.  The domino effect of this poor transport system has never been so evident - from traffic jams that last for hours, to long parking queues and high parking fee rates.

If only i own a peice of land here in BC - i would not want any other business but parking - it has become such a necessity in this area.
