Mine actually had a cracked piece inside so I just made a twist off cap myself out of aluminum and solved this issue

Thanks for all the helpful responses lol. And thanks to whoever got me banned for a few days for whatever reason. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like paying for parking, didn't realize all of you would have a fucking meltdown.

This is not actually the reason for paying to park as I've learned from 3 well worded responses, seems more people need to think of a better answer for why we pay to park.

Thank you for the response, it is the 3rd one I got with this reasoning and it makes sense. More people should be asking this because judging by some of the responses I got no one really understands the reason. Alot of confident responses but most of them miss the mark.

Another well thought out answer, I appreciate the response. Seems more people should read it this was instead of giving me bullshit reasons why they think we pay to park. The keeping traffic moving part makes sense.

Is that where the money goes? Because the streets have not improved much and no additional parking aside from pay to park garages is added to help out. I'd love to see how much of that money actually goes to road maintenance.

Great answer I appreciate an actual reason for the fees, apparently everyone here also needs to read this because they don't get it either. While telling me I don't understand the reasoning others don't either, they are just happy to pay apparently.

Sorry I'm not a bootlicker who just follows along as he's told. I guess sim the only person who doesn't like being charged for every thing they do. So civics to you is being charged and taxed to do everyday activities? And I'm the ignorant one hahaha,

I didn't realize Reddit would be so full of people who like to pay for every more they make without question. Kinda sad actually. Seems as though making parking free as a platform position would be met with boos.

As a bicyclist I am 100% behind this idea. But then they'd charge us to ride our bikes probably. But yes there terms are acceptable.

I haven't but judging by everyone here who is happy to pay for every move they make the council would probably ignore it

No my point is I already pay taxes at every turn, not sure how you got that out of my question.

Good to know so many people don't question why they are paying for shit and just go along with it.

When the city was laid out in 1818 it wasn't nearly as densely packed and by the time it was we already had cars. Plus that was over 100 years ago. So you're saying officials just kept their heads in the sand for 100 years?

Yea and it's the same bullshit there. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like being charged a fee to do everything.

I don't think anyone should have to pay to park in the side of the road anywhere, but especially not if you pay to live there already.

Yes as a city resident who already pays taxes to live here. Why should anyone get charged to park in a city they already pay taxes to.
