Career Change For Me

[FJRider]

... Don't forget these people are using parks they've paid for in their rates, paying for the metering in their rates, pay for upkeep in their rates, and pay for the enforcement in their rates just so they can pay more via a fine for not being on time.

You seem to forget ...

1. Wellington City Ratepayers are not the ONLY ones using Council provided metered car parks.

And ... unless you can provide information to the contrary ...

2. WCC funds the creation of metered parking spaces, and the upkeep and enforcement of the parking system. I am not aware of it EVER being stated that free parking is (was/should be) available in metered parks to ratepayers. To even suggest they should be able to is hilarious ... and bordering on the ludicrous.

3. The "Cash Cow" that the metered car parks are, provide a larger (continuing) return than was ever spent in providing the metered existing parking spaces.

4. The Rates paid by residents of Wellington are NOT the sole source of funding for the Wellington City Council. Nor is the setting up of more metered parking spaces their only intended/existing expenditure.

Stop it. Facts have no place on KB.

In an ideal world there would be enough parks for everyone, all the time. But there aren't.

It's basically rationing.

And financially rewarding for the Council.

But with all the new cycleways being constructed in Chch ... parking issues should be reducing ... soon.


Or have I got it wrong ... again ...

The thing is, and I admire you for having the cahunas to do this, you went out and gave it a go on your own. Many people talk about doing that but few actually do it.

Good on 'ya.

and how sick is that, that a man can't earn a living by his onesies, without teh govt raping him.

vote akzle.


on a related note. start-up-and-fail-within-three-years-sole-trader businesses are the most popular in nz. like. 80% popular.

Think I saw that advertised when i was on my job search. Well done anyway.

I'll keep an eye out while I am toodling about DXing. Perhaps your PCX150 and my CT110 can have a race one day...

I've delivered courses to DX, NZ Post and parking wardens in Chch. Considered doing all 3.

The PCX would eat the Cub. And the GN too.

Maybe a brewski at Raewards some day.

Well thanks for not applying for my DX job then. To be honest, it'll take all my time to come to terms with the heel and toe gear change and automatic clutch on the CT so I think I'll be a Nana for a while. Raewards sounds fair.

What makes me chuckle is that some who complain about WCC and their parking regime are not WCC rate payers but rate payers of one of the other urban authorities... perhaps a Wellington "supercity" should be imposed upon them... where's Rodney when you need him?
