Parking problems
posted by Paul
I'm fortunate enough to have a parking bay in the basement of my company's head office building. For many other colleagues it's invariably a daily battle to find a place to park. Before I got my nice, sheltered, always-available parking bay, I would drive up and down looking for parking, often ending up parking at a nearby shopping centre. The parking bays closest to the building are snapped up by the few early risers - with the rest being left to park some distance from the building. Parking a little way from the building is good from an exercise point of view, but seriously unpleasant when it's raining or after your car's been baking in Africa's hot summer sun.

Parking is the same the world over...why oh why are they still building office blocks with no underground parking etc...in our local town you would pay R150 a day for parking and there's no parking like what is shown in your photo and office blocks have very limited parking space so the staff have no choice..pay up or public transport!!
I can't understand how a company operating in South Africa (for international readers, SA's public transport is pitiful, if it even works) can not provide parking for employees.
I, too, do the daily search for parking on the streets, and put up with the risks associated with it.
Employers: way #1 to piss off a new hire: "There's no parking for you"
