@notjustbikes You know that shop owners always complain when parking spots get taken away. In Frankfurt am Main it’s the opposite. Small restaurants complain that they now have to pay 15x more for having seating on a parking spots it will lose them revenue. 🙃 (link in German) https://www.hessenschau.de/wirtschaft/kaffeetrinken-statt-parken---frankfurter-gastronomen-fuerchten-um-ihre-aussenflaechen-v1,aussengastronomie-gebuehren-100.html
Kaffeetrinken statt Parken - Frankfurter Gastronomen fürchten um ihre Außenflächen

Die Nutzung von Parkplätzen durch Lokale in zentralen Stadtteilen sollte in Frankfurt neuerdings mehrere tausend statt wenige hundert Euro pro Jahr kosten. Nach Protesten hat die Stadt zwar vorerst eingelenkt, aber Gastronomen bangen um ihre Existenz.

@ArjanBos @notjustbikes The real scandal here is, of course, that businesses that actually contribute to the local economy and community are being asked to pay nearly 10x what a private car owner would pay for a one-year license to park anywhere within their district ("Anwohnerparken"), for the same amount of space which then brings a net negative to the local community.
