It looks like a pretty glum situation right now, but the city still has an opportunity to make it
right. It doesn't take a genius to recognize that people would like the capability to park near
transit stations.

However that's not related to my original issue, being;
Minneapolis homeowners are losing their neighborhoods and streets to LRT
riders. I am a person who even has a garage, and still see why this was
a horrible failure on the part of Metro Transit.
Southeast Como residents have known for years that their city streets are parking lots for UM students who can't buy space or can't afford to park in the UM ramps. It's a pain, to be sure. But if the U can't build its way out of the need for more parking space, how could the transit authority?
The city streets are public and thus students or commuters are able to park there. I'm frequently irritated when I have to park away from my house, but I don't mistake the street for my personal property.
There must be some middle ground here.
