O/T Washington City Paper: Dan Snyder monopolizing parking

In addition to points 2 and 3 - the town council, if they gave the idea due diligence, should have recognized something very important in the issue. Why would Six Flags care about 'safety issues' in crossing the street? They wouldn't be liable for such an issue.
 
Good stuff, CR. The problem with rent-seeking, however, is that even if it's eventually corrected, resources were wasted in the process. Something should be done about this at a higher level, but I don't think we're in a political/legal climate to see much of that happen any time soon.

I admit, I had to look up the term 'rent-seeking.' Good one to know, now. Intuitive scheme, but I didn't know that there was an actual word for it.

And yes - I can see this as something that should be addressed via law if it could be, but it seems that it could be sticky.
 
Go to a Patriots game and see how much parking is.
The parking at restaurants a mile away is 30 bucks.
Parking at the stadium is 35 bucks.

Ticket prices are high but not obscene, think of what other teams are charging for the PSL's (which, DC doesn't have).

I can only imagine what tickets and parking will cost at the new Cowboys stadium. Hold on to your seats.
 
On second thought, it's hard to blame the businessman when the customer is eagerly willing to pay extra. Our demands for more lavish entertainment are the driving forces at work here. Hang the expense. Whether we're talking about an entertainment park or a sporting event, we've prepared ourselves to hand over whatever sums are demanded of us in order that we, or our kids, can indulge our expensive entertainment habits.

In our urgency to assuage our pain we eagerly fork over the money. If people would stop, those prices would come down. Ain't gonna happen, though, we've convinced ourselves that we have to have it. Look in the mirror for the cause of rising prices of everything, it's part of the economy.

Like Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."

After all, it's only a problem if you remember how it used to be and it matters to you. It's hard to feel sorry for people when they bring their problems upon themselves.

I'm glad I quit wanting to go to places like that a long time ago.
 
Snyder has been uncontrolable since they put that leather and Gold booster seat in his owners box.
 
This is just another reason for me hating the deadskins and their organization.......what a joke ..$30 plus to park.

What I abhor about people of privilege and power is how they resort to name calling and lies to get their way...

they resort to name calling people "pathetic" when facts are presented to them... or using emotional outbursts to try to intimidate "don't talk down to me"

they use classic Orwellian doublespeak arguing for safety when their true motive is the want for more money and revenue...

I doubt the mayor Cohen is putting his constituents first in this matter... you would think the job of the mayor would be to uphold the laws of his town instead buckling to the influence of his wealthy friends at Six Flags...
 
Did I ever mention I hate everything about the Commanders.

I hate their colors, I hate their ugly helmet, I hate that piece of crap stadium they play in, I hate their stupid old fart band, I hate their name, and above all I hate their little napoleon wanna be owner.:laugh2:
 
I boldly predict that this will be a real trying year for Mr. Zimmer in Atlanta. He's gonna have his hands full and his pockets, too.

It will be interesting to see how much Parcells has relaxed this year.

BP is rich, single, living in a fabulous home like a Mafia Don, working a great paying part-time job and and doing whatever the hell he pleases. That'll take the tension out of anyone.

Is this in the right thread?
 
Dan Snyder is an aihse. He recently took over a water park and branded it in one of his monopoly companies I forget which one. Point is, he is charging like 200 dollars a day per person to move to the front of the lines, have a free lunch and also a free picture with bug bunny.

Dan Snyder is a great business man but a terrible person judging from how he treated his nanny and his kids and an even worse person about knowing how to run a football team. But hey kids, we are offering soda for 15 cents off or a 5 liter bottle! What a deal!

That's disgusting. Small business is what makes America great. These jerks are trying to hurt the small businessman and gouge their own clients.

IMO, Goodell needs to be made aware of owners who practice unseemly business just as much as the players who do.

or people just need to not go to 6 flags. they need to get involved in the fight and to be made aware of what's going on.

6 flags customers must park in their parking lots? my arse. so put up a concession stand and let them park there for $10 for the concession stand and they can then say "hey, 6 flags is good" and they were not a primary 6 flags customer.

if there is justice in this world, the skins are gonna have a bad bad year. karma plays no favorites.
