RE: High parking fees in San Luis Obispo, CA
As a member of this community for over 50 years, I must weigh in with concern about the exorbitant parking fees that
the City of San Luis Obispo is currently charging. I’m sorry if you have mismanaged your tax dollars and are having
difficulty paying out your promised pensions, but DO NOT PENALIZE downtown merchants and their patrons by seriously
overcharging for parking. You are going to ruin San Luis Obispo!!! Once upon a time, we could drive downtown, plug
the meter with a couple of quarters, pop into a store to grab what we needed and be off, leaving the spot for the next
person. Now days it is easier to go to the box store locations, with FREE parking than it is to go downtown to
shop. PLEASE DON’T RUIN OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY with expensive parking fees. You need to reduce the fees to get
residents to shop downtown. Tourists will come, but you don’t want to kill local business.
