Subject:Parking rates downtown

Parking rates are overinflated to no benefit to anyone. Downtown SLO shopping and dining already comes at a premium
compared to other venues outside of the downtown perimeter. The increased rates make people reconsider if it’s worth
it to visit downtown SLO at all which cause a chain reaction of less visitors, businesses closing, crime increasing, real
estate value crashing and leading to downtown SLO to become a wasteland just like San Francisco or LA.
Keeping rates low does not make an impact on SLO city’s budget but directly impacts business owners, residents and
visitors. The complicated and expensive parking system is a major detriment to downtown SLO.
