Paid beach parking is insane \u2014 almost as nutty as Balboa Park paid parking and a huge increase in utility rates. These proposed increases slam working local families hard. Stop it. Waterfront properties throughout San Diego owned by nonresidents as second or third homes and rarely occupied are where to look for revenue.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chris Pearson, Spring Valley<\/p>\n<p>Stop making this issue more difficult \u2014 resident or tourist, everyone should pay the same fee to park. There are functioning \u201ctried + true\u201d parking fee collection methods already being used throughout California. Our city should copy the pay parking system used in Santa Barbara, which even has a phone app that enables you to conveniently add time remotely to your car\u2019s parking meter instead of having to trudge back to your car.
