Got dinged with a parking fee for what I had always assumed was free parking: turns out the rentier’s minions check very infrequently…it’s almost as if the parking fees aren’t the real play, like perhaps the land is where the value is.
But to add insult to injury, the graft doesn’t even stay in Seattle. It goes to Spokane.
It would take 3000 parking fees at $55 each to cover the $160,000 in property taxes…that’s 60 a week. A half acre parcel next to the freeway should be paying more than that and not to a PO Box in Spokane…it should be collected and spent locally in the community that created that value.
