Received a (digital) letter from local authority informing me the parking fees will be increasing.
I don't have a car, so 
but I'm slightly outraged to discover that a residents permit only costs 250 DKK/year - up to 750 DKK for the most polluting.
An #EV is only 50DKK. *per year*
Just me that thinks that is *unreasonably* low (given we live in the centre of a highly walkable/cyclable city)?
@Ruth_Mottram Gah, that's infuriating. Private parking permits are basically a year-long land lease on prime real estate in the city center. They should be priced *at a minimum* at the yearly land market value of the location. Probably more since there are infrastructure maintenance costs too.
Every parking space is like, what, 6M²? Meaning a fair value of unsubsidized parking should likely be in the range of X * 10.000 DKK/year?
@yosh @Ruth_Mottram I live in a nice apartment building. Scaling my rent by floor area and accounting for all the floors, street parking should be worth ~$100,000/yr here. That's the average household income in this country.
