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.
