14 Common Misconceptions About monthly parking in astoria
blog Jul 27, 2022
There are some who believe that the more cars we have, the more we need to park. Others have another theory, that the fewer cars we have, the easier it is to park. I’m gonna go with the former thought, because it’s easier to do. And I’m all for the way we park anyway. It’s just that parking in Astoria is a nightmare.
Parking in Astoria, NY is tough. It’s like parking in a parking garage. There are no spaces for your car, no spaces for your bike, no parking spots for your bike, and no spaces for your car. How do you get to your car? You have to stand in a long line, which takes up all of the other space you have for that car.
The best solution to the parking problem is to just park everywhere else. This leads to what the developers refer to as the “lazy park.” The lazy park is where you park your car in the middle of the road, which is a very safe and safe way to park your car, but is a very messy way to get there. It also requires you to walk around the cars to find a space, and the space you find there is usually the one that isn’t a single line.
I can’t find any definitive statistics on whether people park in the middle of the road or not, but I would suggest that the majority of people do. This leads to the other problem with car parking: The most convenient place to park is right in front of the building or on the street/road. So when you park your car in the middle of the road, you are basically forcing people to walk to the other side of the road to park.
One of the most frustrating things about car parking is that it is a necessary evil. If you are forced to walk or take a cab, it is a sure sign that you are not prepared to deal with traffic.
I once had a client come in to ask about some time-looping they were doing with their parking. I told them I could not do it because my building’s parking garage was being renovated and I had to get a new spot. The client was a bit of aghast because they knew how many people were going to walk by my building and they didn’t know how many people they would walk to. I told them that parking was the most convenient vehicle type to park in my building.
I was surprised when I heard this because I was always told that people didnt park in my parking garage because they didnt want to get towed. I always thought that was a big old FACT. I got home after the meeting and went to the garage to find out where the problem was. There was a couple of cars in there that had been there for two, three, four years. The garage was very clean and the area was not being used.
I do not know of anyone that parked in the garage because they didnt want to get towed. Perhaps there was a small “truck” parked in there, but I would not be surprised. I do know that someone parked there a few years ago that was a little late to get paid. I don’t think it’s unusual that people park in the garage, but I think that it’s very important that people park there.
In other words, if people are parked in the garage, they should be responsible to pay to park there. If they are not, they should leave.
Parking in the garage is a bad thing. Even though people should pay for their parking, they should not be responsible for it. I know that’s a lot of crap, but it is the way the world works. If we don’t pay for our parking, we can not expect to have our cars towed. If we don’t pay for our parking, we do not have to be responsible for our cars getting towed.
