Spoken like someone who's lived here a while
Ken Hoffman is skeptical about a good idea that's being floated:
Problem: People want to go downtown Friday and Saturday nights — to enjoy the restaurants and bars — but parking is a hassle and so expensive.
Solution: How about a deal where parking garages stay open Friday and Saturday nights and charge only $5? Then restaurants and clubs could offer $5 discounts to customers to cover the parking.
Pedicabs could be stationed at the garages to schlep people to Main Street.
Details are being worked out.
This idea makes so much sense, I'm amazed it's even being considered in Houston.
