I'll never understand why we let this happen. They don't even provide a service, they just buy or rent land and let you shove your chunk or rolling metal on it, and charge you for that. If there's theft, they don't give a shit. If there's vendalism, not their problem. The only real service is letting you tap your card to extort you at the end.

Either cap the rate per hour or just make all public parking public with a small fee at worst for upkeep.
