I'm assuming that you're being facetious with the first paragraph. It's worth remembering that all motorists are occasionally pedestrians, but not all pedestrians are ever motorists. I might also suggest that you think about how much it might cost to build and maintain a multi-level parking garage.
Recovering part of the cost of parking facilities from the people actually benefitting from those parking facilities sounds fair to me. I don't see how that could possibly be viewed as antagonistic. It's beneficial to people parking there, too: instead of finding the lot full, the charge can be set to guarantee that there are always at least a few spots available to those who want them.
There are a number of buses that run on King, Weber and Frederick: what do you mean that "public transportation is not an option"?
