F(l)ailing business killed by PARKING shortage in Melbourne


Parking blamed as cherished dance school bows out of Lygon St

"A dance and yoga school that’s been a Carlton institution for almost 50 years is leaving Lygon Street, with its owners partially blaming parking woes and traffic congestion."

One of the most common and ridiculous claims about parking is when already-failing businesses blame economic forces themselves flying pigs a "shortage of parking" when they close down.

The people in this article are apparently transport experts and have sorted out how to fix the problem - provide more parking!

Even though there is on-street and off-street parking right outside the front of the shop.
And the 1 hour parking that they blame has been there for at least four years.

But as always, never let facts get in the way of a good rant.
