#Parking in #Regina, part 3...

I submitted a "service request" about paying for #parking meters downtown, because they're going "app-only", and I have no mobile phone.

I got a #contemptuous email telling me I'd said I was "not comfortable with technology". Fuck you, I'm a software engineer of nearly 3 decades. I responded to say a) I didn't say I wasn't comfortable with tech, and b) it was insulting.

So I got a second reply today, including this fantastic line:

> We apologize for the stress caused to you due to the transition of paying
> for the parking #meters.

Somebody at City Hall is feeling awfully passive-aggressive.

Then, today, I got a phone call. This person tried to convince me that this isn't a problem for me, and tried to offer "solutions" which I had already explained were not applicable in my original request:

1. Park off-street in a private lot. No: it's more expensive, I have no income, and the nearest ones are multiple blocks away from where I need to go. Not practical for someone with #mobility issues, and there are lots of us out here.

2. Buy a special "park for free at meters" pass. Cost: $1040 plus taxes. This is a giant "up yours" suggestion.

3. JK, there are no other solutions.

So I said, "Is it the city's official position that I'm #screwed and can't park downtown to receive medical treatments?" and she said yes.

I'm fucking tired of #bureaucrats making decisions without caring how it affects #residents.

And people wonder what all these federal #bureaucrats do.

It really rankles me when small-goverment cons and supporters go "why do we need all these people inspecting gas pumps or testing cosmetics or inspecting lunch meat factories?"

THIS.. THIS is what all those underappreciated government workers do. KEEP US SAFE from TOXIC EYELINER you dinghats.
