KHOU-11 reports Med Center employees are using the free parking at the VA facility, leaving veterans (many of whom are disabled) facing a long walk:
He’s talking about the parking lot of the V.A. Medical Center and he’s not alone.
“It’s really, really hard to find a parking spot,” said fellow vet Carl Malbrought.
“It’s almost impossible if you don’t get here before 7 a.m. It’s really bad, really bad,” said Joe Davis who also served his country.

It’s a problem caused by the high cost of parking elsewhere in the medical center.
It’s no secret that parking is at a premium at the medical center.
If you work at the medical center, it’s also no secret veterans park for free at the VA hospital.
So, apparently in an effort to save a few bucks, people who work elsewhere are parking here and busing to their jobs.
“I have witnessed three or four cars park and a van will pull up and these people will get out of their cars and get in this van and they zoom off and you can see they’re in medical attire,” said local veteran Isaac Boles.
