Residents not satisfied with CSULB parking

Although students pay an arm and a leg for parking at CSULB, local residents are still not satisfied with the parking. Residents are complaining that students are taking up parking in a nearby elementary school and one to two hour parking on streets. If it is not bad enough that CSULB pampers the residents by paying for their residential permits, the residents want tighter restrictions on parking.

Patrick O'Donnell,the fourth district council member of Long Beach,said the university agreed to pay up to $12,000 this year for resident's preferential parking permits,according to the Daily 49er.

If it is not enough students fork out money to the university they do not have, residents want to place even tighter restrictions on parking in nearby neighborhoods. Residents claim they have seen students park on their street then walk to residential halls....Okay...and your point???

Students are tortured enough at CSULB. Students must fight traffic to get to school, then while at school, scramble for a parking space, then you must hike for ten to fifteen minutes to get to class. Whew it really sounds fun attended CSULB. Residents could careless about the students pain of parking. All the residents care about are their well manicured lawns. If they would try for just once to look at it from the students perspective, they would have a total change of heart.

Some of the residents are even talking about banning parking on their streets on the weekend.


Students pay high priced fees, are struggling working and attending school,the least of their problems should be a parking space.
