As an example, one only needs sit at the window in Bucer's for an hour
or so on a typical weekday and watch the employees of the local
businesses in that area scurry out to move their cars a few slots
down. Or in many
cases, even coordinate with each other to swap parking spots.
This is a daily occurrence by the same individuals, not the random
hit-and-miss UI student. It would not surprise me that these are
the businesses complaining about lack of parking. I suspect this
same thing happens around One Whirled Cafe as well, but we may have to
get Dr Joe to gather some data from the far left side of town.<br>

And yes, I am fortunate enough to be able to spend some time in the
middle of the work week at a place other than my own office - and no it
is NOT located downtown.<br>

</span></div></div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Dan,</div></div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div></div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;">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 style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div></div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;">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 style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div></div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;">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 style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div></div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Gritman's parking problem was created by Gritman administration, and nobody else.
</div></div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div></div> <div> <div style="margin-left: 0.5in;">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 style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> </div></div> <div>

<div style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Donovan says:<br>"Gritman is one of the few hospitals in Idaho that doesn't pay and<br>create

<br>the fact that the main lot used to have old houses on it. This just<br>proves that Gritman has bought up all kinds of property on and around<br>their "campus" -- The aforementioned Wren House and the old Bruneel Tire
<br>building, for example -- to create parking. Also, if the City's rules<br>work the same as the Highway District's, Gritman would have had to pay<br>for the property created when that 1 block section of 8th street was
<br>abandoned, unless other arrangements were made.<br><br>Just because you got a bug up your ass about Gritman over some goofy<br>student health insurance grudge doesn't mean you are spewing
