So true. Especially during weekends when local places like malls and restaurants are extremely crowded!Also, another thing that you can do is carpool with friends. That doesn’t solve the finding parking situation but at least it’s only one car finding parking and not two.
Agreed, in today’s times of increasing pollution and global warming, it’s best to take public transportation anyway. Other than peak hours when it’s standing room only most of the time, I always use public transportation.
We have friends who live within walking distance of some great downtown locations so we always include them in our plans. If they aren’t available, they usually offer their extra parking space to us – for free.
I really hate looking for parking. While some people will circle a parking lot for 10 minutes to find a spot close to the door, I usually opt for the first spot I find. I don’t mind walking a bit if it spares me the stress of looking for parking. Other times I do take public transportation, but it is not very convenient considering that it often costs more than parking.

Public transportation or even riding a bike is the way to go. Those downtown lots totally price gouge you!
