Parking Fees?

 There's chatter going on....on a hefty parking fee deal within Wiesbaden.  It kinda shocked some folks on the extent of this.

Present fee....if you live within the city....as a permanent resident, you need to get a permit, which typically runs 10.20 to 30.70 Euro.

Some people (particularly politicians) think the bigger the vehicle....the higher the fee.

The suggested upward trend?  A minimum of 11 Euro more....but some folks are suggesting the parking permit (per vehicle).....could go up to 120 Euro more.  

Ridiculous?  If you own a condo.....there's typically a 'free' spot included in the purchase deal.  If you own a house.....there's typically a garage/car-port.  But for every person might have a 'assigned' spot....there's probably two to three folks who simply park on the street, and they'd be in this parking permit mess.

In some ways, I think they are simply 'chasing' residents out of town, and making various reasons to live outside of the city limits.
