On This Day | Let’s Talk Parking Meters!
Author

“Today more cars than ever before are being driven more than ever before—creating serious parking problems on our city streets. Parking meters keep the traffic moving. Parking meters prevent ‘hogging’ of choice parking spots by local people. Parking meters mean parking places for YOU!”
— June 10, 1948 | The Ward County Independent
Why We Chose It
The most destructive thing North Dakota voters have ever done to themselves is socializing parking — making the government provide it to us for free. Because of course, concrete and land are not free, so neither are the parking spaces that use them. But by voting to make parking meters illegal, we chose to make it “free” rather than asking those who use it most to pay for it. That was stupid. The question today is: will we learn from it?
