OOOh well.... I think is time for a monthly parking deck. it is cheaper than the public parking meters. That is what I'm doing here in Raleigh, parking cars for " McLauling parking Co. "

Santiagueses are NOT Stupid, laid back YES. Los Capitalenos son unos antisociales, por esa razon La Capital es un desastres.

In one big European capital several years ago city authorities also decided to mimic USA and installed parking meters in the streets.

The very next morning all of them were destroyed. City got the message - no more meters for citizens.

It has nothing to do with LAW. City and its streets belongs to its PEOPLE, not to a handful of high level officials to to be used for their personal enrichment or to cover and compensate for their economic mismanagement and incompetence.

Law - is something that is good for all society, not for a chosen few at expense of the majority.

People of that remote country are known for their nonbreakable independent freedome loving fighting nature. Maybe because of cold winters.

Hey Leonel wants to make the DR a small version of NY City...there you have it. I was just in NY City...40 USD to park and no in/out privileges. I got a 115 USD ticket just for parking for 5 minutes in a street, right next to a meter which I had put in money into, but apparently you need a commercial license to park there...You think Santiago is irritating...

If the population of Santiago didn't destroy the Meters is because they approved it. If anyone doesn't want to pay to park, take a taxi or a Carro de Concho.

Or a taxi sing on top of the car, there are free taxi parking in the corner of the street. That is what I used to do.

By the same logic the next step must be tax on air - city, state and federal taxes on breathing. And each citizen is given a free democratic constitutional choice - either to pay to breathe or to receive at a special department a discount coupon for early cremation.
