When it is cheaper to pay for eight hours of gas or the equivalent electric charge, parking rates need to come down.

Taxi drivers and pizza deliveryboys (paperboys, too) do not necessarily have a good reputation. All that I hear about semi drivers is "Ugh! Why are they so slow!"

If deliveries no longer need drivers, there would be fewer people on the road, some just going to and from work, and even if the number and severity of accidents did not improve, there would be fewer people to get hurt.
