Hello Motherfucking April

2. "Lack of Parking"- No self-respecting business that expected to succeed would build a facility with inadequate parking. If you consider that the university of North Carolina is a business, with the goal of educating the future of NC, then we are failing miserably at our goal. Because standing between those eager, bright-eyed young pupils and the golden knowledge they seek is an impossible gap; that gap is parking, and the lack thereof. Yes the town is small. Yes, the school is large. And yes, driving everywhere is not a good idea for the environment, economics, or physical activity of students. But if you have ever tried to park on campus around 7pm on a Monday, you will realize the maddening, infuriating, inept parking hell that South Building has crafted. Not only do the meters last till 9pm, but the "free spaces" fill up around 4:30 (parking opens at 5). And so, a high-stakes game of cat and mouse spacehunting begins. SUV's are fucked; vans are fucked; and only motorcycles can feel reasonably certain of finding a space within the 30 minutes you have until you're expected at work, at a meeting, at class, in the library, etc. So fuck it, I say. Let's build decks as far as the eye can see. Free Parking all day. I'm not saying we ignore the aesthetic qualities of our fine campus; but we can do a bit more than we've done so far.
