I hate parking fees as much as the next person, and totally appreciate the
creativity of the people who defeated this device.

However, how should we handle distributing a limited number of parking spaces
when there are more people who want to park than available spaces?

If we just say "free to park anywhere!", then there is a good chance you come
to school and can't park anywhere (especially if you are not there super
early)

You could do a lottery, I guess, but then people who don't need parking might
enter the lottery and then sell their spot... making parking even more
expensive.

Parking fees seem like a fair way to distribute the limited resource.
