Parking Rates Based on Vehicle Weight

You live in Kestrelford, a mid-sized city in Manitoba. While walking home from a municipal parking garage, your neighbour, Jonas Bellamy, mentions a proposal to charge heavier passenger vehicles more per hour for public parking. Supporters say this could encourage drivers to choose lighter vehicles and provide money for parking facility upkeep. Opponents say weight does not necessarily reflect how much parking space a vehicle uses, and some households need heavier vehicles. Jonas asks for your opinion.
