> Honestly paying for parking is an insult in the first place.
The alternative in popular areas is to never be able to find parking which arguably sucks more. If there aren’t open spots on the street then the parking fees are too cheap.
> Private insurance, which is required. Lots of out-of-state policies aren't eligible, so we see ads on TV for competetive policies from Progressive, Geiko, ect yet nobody in MA is eligible to buy them. It's worth it to note that state vehicles don't need insurance as they are "self-insured." So if you crash into a cop you or your insurance will pay 100% but if a cop crashes into you the town and its taxpayers get to pay 100%.
The taxpayers would be paying for the insurance premiums if the State bought insurance. The ability to be self insured is an advantage of being any large org. It’s no different then self insuring health insurance.
