Where I live, the thing that annoys me most are all these open car parks that are owned by a private.company.
So like, you drive onto the lot, park the car, and walk away. Well at least everyone used to when they were the public's.
Now you drive onto the lot, park the car, pre-pay an amount, and walk away.
Nothing else has changed. It's.still just the same patch of unsecure vacant dirt it always was. But now it's a company's patch of dirt they bought to do nothing more to but add a pay station.
They also have to pay for parking conventions to learn new ways to maximize profit, and pay lobbyists to expand or keep the money flowing, or be able to get away with not paying for safety features.
