Chicago Perfectly Proves Why Privatization SUCKS For Consumers
Former mayor Richard M. Daley's 2008 contract that sold off Chicago's parking meters to private investors has been widely criticized for its negative impact on the city. The contract, lasting 75 years, resulted in increased meter rates and limited control over street usage. Efforts to implement sustainable transportation initiatives have been hindered by the contract's restrictions, such as the fixed number of metered spots. While workarounds involving design and policy have been explored, they fall short of a comprehensive solution. Breaking the contract is seen as a necessary step to regain control over metered parking and prioritize public interests over private profits. Despite potential legal consequences, the city could seek legal avenues to challenge the contract or simply ignore it. Chicago should take bold action by expanding alternative transportation infrastructure and let the investors sue if necessary. The city needs complete control over its valuable curb space to effectively manage traffic and promote sustainable mobility.
