This thread discusses the Content article: Student fighting Provo parking ticket on First Amendment grounds

I am happy that this city ordinance is being opposed to. Thank goodness the civil rights movement didn't take place here in Provo! There would have been no place to park. And if they had assembled it would have been broke up as you need a permit to assemble more then 30 people. I'm from Washingon, D.C and is the only thing about Provo, UT that makes absolutely no sense to me. I love Provo, but as a student here at BYU, I feel that the residents are doing everything to prevent us from assembling and living here. I don't understand how the residents don't like to invited their neighbor over or have their families come visit them.

The two threads on this topic have many posts that are against the Provo parking ordinances. What else is the solution to too many cars, too little parking? The fact remains that there are many more cars than space south of BYU. If someone hosts a gathering, does the visitors' cars' rights supercede that of the residents?

What abut the families that live in those areas. How would you feel about having to pay for a visitors permit, so that your grand kids could visit you?

This whole parking permit issue came about. Because Provo City was allowing. Large housing complexes to be built. With inadequate numbers of parking spaces.

See this is why I don't want to live in Provo. It's overcrowd, underfunded and mismanaged.

Normally I would let the free market sort it out (if you want parking space, live elsewhere). However, BYU does force their students to live in "approved" housing, of which you are right, they build many there with inadequate parking. Not sure what a good solution would be now...
