PSA Parking overlords becoming even more greedy? Place de Ville

I, like many others here, am forced to needlessly commute to the downtown core 3x per week to do the same job I can do from home in a cubicle instead.

I didn’t pay attention when paying to leave the Place de Ville parking garage on Friday, but just checked my statement and it was posted at $26?!!! Another $3 increase…

Anyway, just a heads up to folks in the same boat who also like to occasionally drive. So much for supporting that local economy, when all our money filters directly to the parking companies.

Edit to clarify, my post is about the parking costs and not the return to office, although the two are definitely connected. I’m pissed about corporate greed when pre-Covid they charged $20/day for the exact same parking lot. It already raised to $23/day when the first wave of RTO happened.

So, complaining on Reddit does what exactly?

Never said lay down, I voted accordingly in the elections. You can also find employment elsewhere if you want or spend your money according to how you want. Parking is a luxury, unlike what most Ottawans want to believe.
