San Diego voters will have a chance to vote in the issue. So while I feel for those in Seattle who oppose this lunacy, I am thankful we will have the experience there to look to when the time comes to consider it. Hopefully, it is revealed to be the disaster so voters here reject it. It appears it already is.
I hope the San Diego voters do not get economic reality blurred with Marxist myth. A measure of how successful this ill conceived polity has affected the economy will be the parking revenue around the city. Parking revenue is tied directly to economic activity in the city. When you have to pay for parking and now have to pay for increased prices, fewer will be spending time in Seattle.
