Parking

One of the tricky things about managing parking is the permit-to-available spaces ratio. If you only issue the same number of permits as spaces, then your car park has a lot of empty space most of the time. Too many permits, and you have frustrated permit-holders looking for a space that isn't there. It's a bit like airlines and seats.

That was me on Wednesday, but sadly they didn't offer me an upgrade; I just had to park on a nearby road.
