I think the most likely outcome of this is traffic chaos as everyone decides they'd rather park on the road than pay central city parking rates in the middle of nowhere.

Seriously, $5 an hour is absurd.

I wonder why they never needed to charge for parking to make up the conservation budget previously... 🤔🤔🤔 /s

They could issue tickets for parking on the road.

Also most people probably don’t spend more than an hour at these places.
