Parking

Dear Parking Police,

Its been a while on here, but I've still got things to say. Where I work, getting to work at 8:30, even 8:00 isn't early enough to park close enough to the building to have less than a 5 minute walk inside. I've come to grips with this, almost to the point that I don't really mind any more.

Across the street from my building there is a gigantic parking lot. Probably holds about 1000 cars when its all filled up. The people here have questionable tactics when it comes to snow closures, but thats another story. The story here is how they have decided to pave the parking lot. Understandable. What I don't get is that they have closed off about 60% of the parking lot. That to me seems like a crazy amount of space to take away. On any given day, about 70-80% of the spaces are taken up. So if my math is right, on average about 800 people are parking over there, only there are now only about 400 spaces for those people to park in.

I don't get it. Parking sucks here. Its even worse now. I don't have any suggestions, I only want to complain. I haven't been affected by the "can't find a place to park" issue yet. But it will come. I need to get our countertop delivered this week, and where usually I'd just come in a bit later, around 9:30/10, if I did that, I'd never find a place to park! Ugh!
