this is why the country is failing.

Are you sure that the paid parking isn't overfilled or something?

Also, I wish I paid $60 per semester for parking >_>

No, the paid parking is just fine because I have to park there at the risk of getting ticketed because of these morons.

Yeah it's impossible to find parking here during peak hours. They keep remodeling and fixing buildings and stuff but never do anything about parking. I dont get it.

Better than the school I went to last year.

roughly 30 parking spots.

30!

Sure it was a really really small school (200 students) but it was always full.

Ann Arbor has got to be one of the worst towns for parking I've ever seen. Makes it hard to live off campus unless you feel like walking 20 minutes to get anywhere. And if you're on the North Campus like I was? Freaking forget about it.

Yeah and they continue to build new buildings without adding any parking. They actually TOOK OUT parking so they could throw in a freaking chapel.

I refuse to pay for parking. I've been going here for three years without paying for a permit and I've only gotten two tickets so yeah.

Watch me get ticket no. 3 today though.

It is ridiculous. I don't even half of my tuition covered by their financial aid and then they want me to pay for their asinine parking permits too?

No and no.

Sounds like my community college. They destroyed various parking lots, but for more practical reasons. Like adding new buildings to accommodate more students. Except that this is a community college and literally everyone commutes, so that just makes problems worse. Businesses nearby were getting upset about this because students would park illegally near them.

Ugh.

I pay $0 for parking permits every semester! Hooray street parking!

It's only like a 5 minute walk off of campus so I deal with it. I could use the exercise!

If I didn't live within biking distance of my school I would probably go insane because of stuff like this.

Aww yeah $10/year. Sure it's from a shuttle lot, but I can wait an extra 10 minutes a couple days a week to save money.

Is it possible to take pics and then report them? Seems kinda bass ackwards if you're really getting ticketed because people with permits are filling up the visitor spots.

I believe my alma mater is up to over $600 per year for parking now. It was well over $500 my last year.

I know the last time I got ticketed I was like "LOOK PEOPLE TAKE UP VISITOR THIS ISN'T FAIR" and they said that they were going to start giving tickets to people with permits that were using visitor parking but they apparently never started.

But it doesn't matter because they're just like "WELL YOU'RE A STUDENT YOU NEED TO GET A PERMIT"

It's pure and utter f***s***, as Mer would say.

Oh, and the super b**** move they do is that you can sell back your parking permit pro-rated for the amount of months you have left, but they cut that off in March. So f*** you if you're not taking summer classes.

Portland State is in the heart of downtown AKA parking is complete bufu both in paying for it and finding a spot. I probably pay about $400 a term in metered city parking, and I've circled campus for 45 minutes to an hour before unable to find a place to park.

Relatively, sure.

But I am also poor as hell and they get enough of my goddamn money!
