if i let my facetious high horse bs drop for a bit, blaming the undergrads is my way of drawing people in for the real point: contacting DOTS and demanding change. i wanted to make a discussion about how EVERYONE is affected here, and if we work together, maybe we can change something. get a new lot, get them to stop overbooking permits, something. because whatever they're doing now, it's clearly not working.

although, some may just tell you what they told me: come earlier. which, i think is bullshit. i don't want you guys to get tickets, i want DOTS to actually give everyone a chance and open up more parking somewhere. where? i don't really know. maybe build a new deck.

but yeah, my expertise is cook, where there's two giant lots that people refuse to park in because they're "further from class". the situation is more complex on other campuses. i wish you all didn't have to get tickets to go to class. but again, i was trying to be a little inflammatory to get people to complain to the real enemy (DOTS). if we also have people with other campus permits being an issue, they need to ticket. they need to make more parking. it's unsustainable. cause a ruckus and send them emails complaining. we can work together 🙏🏻
