Aw, but cut some slack here.

This poster likely just got a driver's license before everything shut down in a global pandemic. They don't have experience in how this works -- and likely missed out on a bunch of early adult experiences because of the pandemic. It sucks for young folks. Let's help them have some fun.

Seriously, I feel for younger folks these days. $500 for a festival? $100 for a concert? I remember when Hfstival was $20 and gigs at 9:30 Club rarely exceeded $20-$35. That was only about 15-20 years ago.

I totally get being young and they should def have all the fun and experiences.

It’s not just this request. I have tons of people, friends of friends etc that all somehow think there is tons and tons of ample free parking in popular dc areas. My friends are not on the younger side and they still ask. I just figured I was missing something or maybe this is more common in other places. Where I get ho there’s hardly ever paid parking but it’s a more rural area.

I always suggest the metro or park somewhere out of town cheaper if possible then a combo of transportation options closer to town. I just figured I missed something along the way
