Nickles, dimes and high taxes

Like all bowing down to admire the emperor’s new suit, I am amazed at the sheep mentality of so many that continue to patronize White Rock’s beach merchants in spite of the parking rate rip-off.

No, I did not get a ticket, but I fail to appreciate the “why” when the parking costs are some $3 per hour and a leisurely meal can have some $9 parking charges added on top of not-the-cheapest food and beverage prices around.

The property and business taxes are among the highest in B.C., and then we are nickled and dimed to death if we run five minutes over the limit while spending good money in the area.
