¡Hola Stemians! Nuevamente de vuelta con una foto más.
Hay ocasiones en las que me parece increíble la voracidad de nuestros gobiernos. Siempre tratando de sacar provecho de cualquier cosa o lugar que les permitamos.
Uno de los temas más importantes que existen en la actualidad es, desde mi humilde punto de vista, el uso que hacemos de los espacios públicos como sociedad.
Deberíamos de ser libres de poder realizar casi cualquier actividad en las vías públicas siempre y cuando no afecte a terceros, pero en vez de eso, nuestros gobiernos únicamente se interesan en lograr ganancias, incluso de el espacio que ocupamos.
Es el caso de los parquímetros que desde hace algunos años se han empezado a colocar en muchas de las ciudades del mundo, y que en muchos casos, son concesiones del gobierno a empresas particulares.
"¿Necesitas ocupar un espacio en mi ciudad? No hay problema, te va a costar tanto..."
Afortunadamente hay gente que está dispuesta a poner resistencia y deciden tomar cartas en el asunto. Como los vecinos de la ciudad de Pachuca, que están en contra de la colocaciones de parquímetros en la ciudad y se han dedicado a remover o deshabilitar cada uno de estos artefactos.
Ojalá que pronto muchas más ciudades se preocupen por este tipo de temas.
En sus ciudades ¿existe algún tipo de mecanismo similar? ¿Son operados por particulares o directamente por el gobierno?
Espero que les haya gustado. ¡Hasta la próxima!
Hello Steemians! Here again with one more photo.
There are times when I find the voracity of our governments incredible. Always trying to take advantage of any thing or any place that we allow them.
One of the most important issues that exist today is, from my humble point of view, the use we make of public spaces < b> as a society.
We should be free to carry out almost any activity on public roads as long as it does not affect third parties, but instead, our governments are only interested in achieving profits, even from the space we occupy.
This is the case of the parking meters that for some years have begun to be placed in many of the cities of the world, and that in many cases, are government concessions to private companies.
"Do you need to occupy a space in my city? No problem, it will cost you so much ..."
Fortunately there are people who are willing to put up resistance and decide to take action on the matter. Like the residents of the city of Pachuca, who are against parking placements in the city and have dedicated to remove or disable each one of these devices.
Hopefully soon many more cities will be concerned about this type of issues.
In your cities, is there some kind of similar mechanism? Are they operated by individuals or directly by the government?
Hope you like it and till next time.

Oh yes, parking lots are managed by a Holding and you can comfortably pay, as well as at the parking meter column, via iOS or Android app... LOL! ;)

Does entropy always increase? ;)
What a cool shot and yes Paid parking seems to be springing up everywhere where it used to be free, they governments and corporations are always looking to take as much of our hard work and earnings away from us
Pretty sad, right?

Well in our case they call it job creation my friend.
They put out a tender to a friend's company to have people running around with electronic meters and they charge you wherever you stop.
Then they split the income with the service provider.
So sad!
Well at least there is still some people involved... And still they are offering some work... But with this automated systems it a whole different story.
Either way is still wrong. Thanks for the visit.
