In response to the letter from Bonny Hsu (“Parking is a pain,” page 4, Feb. 2-3) I just want to say this; “Boy are you lucky !” The parking signs posted that say the parking is for two hours or three hours mean just that. Not for you to replug the meter all day. It means you need to move your vehicle to a different spot and allow others to utilize the one you planned to hog all day.
Has car pooling not occurred to you? Use the buddy system and ride the bus with others, this way you will not be so afraid of the “vagrants” that seem to terrorize you (Just to let you know, they are there all day, every day, not just when you get off work at dusk). Look at every option and do not remain so self centered and closed minded. Go green, ride Blue.
