BTW, I forgot to critique (i.e., slam) your prius parking proposal. It's lousy. It subsidizes driving. the reason CAFE has been such an utter failure is that people are willing to spend a certain amount on gas, and better gas mileage makes driving cheaper. Making parking cheaper is a disaster as well.

The only possible justification is that we feel sorry for people driving such dorky cars. But, hey, if you chose it, swim in your own pee.
I don't agree with everything Friedman said, and I can't see how you would make that one happen. But it seemed like a way to save people the bother of paying at parking meters. Although then they'd tie the spaces up, and merchants would be pissed. Though this would discourage driving.
