So after I come to school today after the 1 hour and 15 min wait on the parkway to get here. (Thank god I leave early) I have to go into the expensive lot witch is 15 f\*cking dollars to park. Did I mention I also work in oakland witch intern means i have to pay to park every day also. So lets calc. this up real fast to day I will be paying 25 dollars total in parking fees. Did I mention I live in monroeville? So including gas probably spending around ahh 30-35 dollars today… For pretty much just getting to work/school. Love it ---

So if this is everyday and you do this 5 days a week for a year, you are spending $7800/year on the low side. ☹ ---

what the fuck does that matter? pittsburgh is a whole 15 blocks and 10 minute walk… if you’re going to bitch about spending 15 bucks to park, then man up and pay 9 and hike it. where do you go to school? don’t say point park, that shit is like 4 blocks… only thing closer is the art institute. ---

I work at the north shore by the heinz lofts. I park on the roads for free. Most of my clients are in town, so a short walk over the bridge is all I ever do. Walking ain’t that bad. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/downtown-parking-teh-sux/185551.md?page=2)
