<p>My favorite quote, however, is “We would rather sell parking permits than write citations.” Because cutting your permit prices and increasing your ticket prices (no ticket is as cheap as the ones cited in that article) as well as your temporary parking sure shows that you aren’t trying to make money from tickets. Mmhm.</p>
<p>Last year I got notice from SIS that I had an unpaid (plus late fee) parking citation, they wouldn’t take the late fee off even though it was the very first time I had been told I had a citation: read: P&T never contacted me, only SFS. It was the first time I felt like my honor as a student was not believed, and it was a horrible feeling. That this woman on the phone would rather in essence call me a liar than admit I should not pay the late fee. And the best part is the ticket was when I drove Tshirts to brown for our ANNUAL 100%-FOR-CHARITY HAUNTED HOUSE. Yup. Ticketed a charity event, that’s right. Anyways, I’m sure tons of that will come up when they start booting people’s cars and they don’t know about their tickets either. They at one point gave you one freebie per year, don’t know if they still do that. I deserved a ticket the time I got my freebie (my first citation in 4 years ftr) but I just hate being ticketed and paying late fees unjustly and that is what is going to happen with this new scheme of theirs.</p>
<p>Just increase permits by $50 the Darden students don’t care anyways, they’ll pay it, and I would have paid an extra $50 to park at Emmet/Ivy, $150/yr is cheap. It was $200 my first year but they dropped it after I complained that prorated at $16/mo is not $200 when you refuse to sell me my permit before late August and it expires in May, because that is highly illegal. So it’s good they stopped that. But they could up the price from $16/mo.</p>
