Right now we pay something like $300 a year for the right to park in the college's semi-premium parking spots. These parking lots are apparently so good that many of the spots are metered. If you have a parking pass, and the only spot left is a metered spot, you still have to pay a quarter for every 15 minutes you'll be using that spot.

Most times the only spots open are the metered spots. Even those might be full.

Or I can go 15 feet to the side of the road and park at a city meter, which costs me a quarter for 20 minutes. Think about this for a moment.

I pay $300 a year to park in lots that are almost always full. I could pay $1 to park in the lot if I want a metered spot, so that's $1 per hour on top of the $300. If my class lasts an hour and I have 30 classes in a semester then I'm paying $420 a year (4 semesters) for parking.

Or I could just park at a city metered spot that costs me $0.75 an hour for every class and pay $90 a year for parking.

Granted I do find a non-metered spot about once a week, but I still think I'm getting screwed here.

Remind me not to re-up the parking pass. Thanks.
