Parking Perks

http://www.greencarreports.com/blog/1022211_prius-perks-in-peril-from-plug-in-privileges

I don’t really understand this article.  Apparently there are retailers that offer “hybrid only” parking spaces.  Fine, I can live with that (people who don’t care will simply ignore it).  But the point seems to be that *these* perks are going away, to be replaced by similar perks for plug-ins (that’d be the purely electric cars).

How about this – any encouragement that gets people investing in the newer technologies, and thus driving prices down, which in turn encourages adoption, is a good thing.

Want to hear about my parking perk?  When I ride my bike, I don’t need a parking space.

Well, technically I do.  I call it “the cube next to mine.”  But I never have to fight anybody else for it.
