In view of the problem of "parking difficulty", the legal office of Beijing Municipal Government solicits opinions from the general public on "Measures for the Management of Motor Vehicle Parking in Beijing". In the draft, Beijing proposed to strengthen parking lot construction and encourage social units and individuals to invest in parking lot construction. This means that the government may reduce the access threshold of parking lots.
But is it profitable to build a parking lot? Is it able to attract investors' interest? Yesterday, some netizens commented that building a car shed is much better than building a big house. Guo Jifu, director of Beijing Transportation Development Research Center, also expressed concern.
Guo Jifu: It's also very difficult to operate. The construction cost is very high, because the land price in Beijing is very high, and the parking price in many cities is actually very low. Even after we have adjusted the price, we are still lower than some cities such as Shanghai and Shenzhen. In such a case, in fact, parking spaces can not be recovered.
How can we improve the seduction of the "car shed"? Ding Zhaolin, commentator of China's voice, said the government should introduce corresponding incentives.
Ding Zhaolin: From this point of view, this is also a way for the government to take part in the construction of public projects, or some enterprises involved in the construction of public projects, through tax and interest reduction. It also brings profit space. It is also a good combination of the enterprise's impulse to pursue profits and the requirement to solve public problems. That's right. To a certain extent, this is also a good operation in many cities and countries.
In the draft, the government will also use the system of wrong time and time-limited parking to improve the utilization of parking lots, and bring parking lots in residential areas into management. Yesterday, there were car owners in Beijing who were particularly concerned about this item. Some people shouted "Wolf is coming" for fear that undeveloped parking spaces in or near the neighborhood would soon be discovered, and it would be very difficult to "spend very little money" to park in the future.
In this regard, Yang Xiaoguang, director of the Department of Communications, Tongji University, believes that there may be many problems with market economy alone.
Yang Xiaoguang: Never regard this as a huge industry in the city. In fact, the government should make full use of its policies. If our government can use some economic leverage to encourage people to take out space, it is meaningful to use it for parking. But you can't let this thing go and turn it into a simple economic behavior, which may lead to problems and some planning in the layout. Not that I have parking spaces everywhere, I will dig them out, because in a certain area, the core is not parking problems, but traffic jams, in this place, do not simply dig parking spaces.
In addition, in terms of parking fee price, the draft stipulates that the parking fee standard in Beijing still follows the principle that the central city is higher than the peripheral areas and the road parking is higher than the off-road parking. For road parking berths, parking fees should be paid.
