Parking in Waterloo Region

[BuildingScout]

This is a different issue, and I agree with you: poor accommodation is made to people on foot during the winter months. But a lot of people do walk, and a lot of people have little choice but to.

Arguing that non-motorists should subsidize motorists because it's inconvenient to walk (something that non-motorists are of course impacted by) doesn't make much sense to me.

The first paragraph says that if some people suffer, then all people must too.

As for the second we cross-subsidize all the time, including over 50% of the bus fare. So the argument of X subsidizing Y is pretty much moot. For example, our society has, by design, the rich subsidizing the poor. I'm in favour of this even though I'm more of a payer than a payee in that system.
