<DIV>Dan,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think the proof is in the pudding. If Gritman doesn't have enough parking, it is because, obviously, it hasn't bought enough of it. Medical Professionals that make lots of money off off their clients than lease space from Gritman given to Gritman by the public should be buying more parking spaces, not the public. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just because Gritman says that it has x number of parking spaces it is entitled to, doesn't mean it is entitled to them. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And I don't just have a bug about Gritman forcing me to go broke buying their for profit worthless health insurance to attend UI. I also blame them for taking Latah Health Services for profit, and providing horrible medical services. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Gritman's parking problem was created by Gritman administration, and nobody else. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have zero sympathy for businesses and
services that locate downtown and then complain about parking. The Public doesn't provide public parking for Tri-State, Wal-Mart, or Hastings. Why should businesses downtown be provided with this tax support service? If a business or service cannot fit downtown, they need to either buy more space, or move to a location with more parking. It is that simple. Tristate, Safeway, the Co-Op, and many other businesses didn't complain about their neighbors taking their parking, they moved to another location and purchased more parking. Welcome to the free market. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR><BR><B><I>Dan Carscallen <areaman@moscow.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Donovan says:<BR>"Gritman is one of the few hospitals in Idaho that doesn't pay and<BR>create their own
