To the editor: Thanks, Metropolis Council, for taking extra of my cash (“Parking will quickly value extra in Los Angeles. Right here’s what you want to know,” Oct. 6)! I can’t wait to see what you set it towards subsequent.
I’m positive the town is elevating meter charges as a result of it plans on offering my fellow Angelenos and me with higher and extra plentiful providers, and never as a result of it’s attempting to dig itself out of a gap it created. Some could argue that $14.4 million shouldn’t be even a scratch at a $1-billion shortfall, however I say: How are you going to be in opposition to it when it’s yet one more regressive tax?

To the editor: By making individuals pay for parking on Sundays, the Metropolis Council has abolished the at some point of the week that gave motorists a breather. It was a remnant of an easier-going Los Angeles, one thing to be cherished. The council appears intent on selecting the general public’s pockets and additional traumatizing people — all to scrape up a paltry $14.4 million in opposition to a funds shortfall simply shy a cool $1 billion.
