It is you who haven't a clue.
Like I said before, to expect someone who's disabled to make multiple trips out to a meter is placing an undo burden on them. If you'd put yourself in someone else's shoes for a moment you might realize that. Originally Posted by Ducbutter

Damn whirlagay is picking on the handicapped now, that fucker has no pity.

Most dallas meters can handle multiple hours of parking time.

IC wheelchair bound workers using public transportation, parking lots, and parking garages. All of which are convenient.

The typical parking meter user isn't going into a building for multiple hours; it is a quick trip in a out. Especially around Dallas County Records Building (where these free meters are located).

And Washington DC is abandoning the practice of free meter parking and instituting fees. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

You don't know any more than I do how long those people are staying in those spots or what they're doing. If they're not staying long, as you claim, is the city really losing that much revenue? Is it costing you more money? No and no. You're just whining cause someone is getting something you're not.
As for it being a quick trip in and out, I'll bet it is. If you're able bodied. Your lack of empathy and self awareness on this issue is staggering.
I've got a deal for you though. I'll put up the money for you to get a double amputation and you can have all the free parking downtown you want. Howzat?

It was there, it was easy, and you took it. Well played.

It was beyond stupid and mean-spirited. I won't stand down. WPF proves again what creep he is.

I like Ducbutter's posts. I treat all posters the same, he was not posting for sympathy.

Thanks Db , none was meant.

Those of us who are able bodied can typically find free parking at some distance from whatever facility we are going to, though you might have to walk quite a way.

As I stated before, spend a week in a wheelchair some time. You'll have all the answer you need. Originally Posted by Ducbutter

I'm still struggling with what being in a wheel chair has to do with one's qualifications for a shot at living in the Governor's Mansion in Texas.

Yes it was. How did that work out for her?

Though she still has no chance and never did.

This is still a red state.

She's toast. Her chances were always slim and none and she has run a terrible campaign, just awful.

The more interesting race, albeit at a local level, is the contest for District Attorney in Dallas. Susan Hawk v. Craig Watkins

Wendy Davis has her sights on something other than Texas politics.

A stint at CNN or MSNBC maybe? Or within the Democratic Party apparatus. Cushy lobbying job?

Her political career in Texas is over. She is no Ann Richards.
