I refuse to pay for parking and have saved thousands.

r/

In todays economy I can’t afford fuck all as it is, my truck is a net positive to my city because I use it to transport tools and material to build its homes, the private companies who own the lots don’t tow you, they give you a „ticket“ or better said an invoice which they can’t do anything about if I refuse to pay it… So why voluntarily pay tax if I also have the option just not to?

I live in the most expensive city in my country and as a spit in the face to make life even more unaffordable they have introduced pay parking in almost every public park now, and it’s not even the city who collects the funds half the time. It’s a private parking contractor who gets rich off of the public’s use of the park. I’d be more willing to pay if it was at least city operated and parking funds went to city operations. They are slowly designing this city to be impossible to park in for free. I avoid city meters because if they ticket me I can’t renew my insurance until I pay the ticket.

So I just don’t pay. I park in alleys, private Parkades where my truck can barely squeeze in making it impossible for a wrecker to tow it, and I use the tickets they give me as filters for the after work joint.

Been doing this for 4 years, never been towed, wheel boots are banned by local bylaw and I could always get an angle grinder out of the truck if they did boot me. I know where and where not to park. Who tows and who doesn’t. Once I rack up enough tickets I go to my insurance joint and pay 20$ cad for a new plate so they don’t scan it and tow me for my many unpaid tickets. My truck hardly leaves my city and I drive 60 – 70,000km annually. I get around a LOT. Doing this has saved me thousands of dollars.

    This doesnt add up, esp 4 Canada. The part about private tickets is true, but then you wouldnt need to change plates. Only official tickets show up but those follow you around, you cant run from those by changing plates.

    Years ago my brother went out with some friends. It was $3 to park. One of the people in the group didn’t want to pay to park so he parked in the parking lot of a grocery store. His car ended up getting towed and it cost him $300 to get his car back.

    Would you be pissed if someone parked on your driveway?

    The person who owns the car park are doing so to make money. It’s their land that you feel you have the right to use without permission.

    I presume you expect to be paid when people use the service you provide?

    Park at your own risk brother, just remember your truck is your tool to make money. If that truck goes missing, then you’re not making money.
