Pay to park

Don’t you hate it when things are in places they aren’t supposed to be? Bikers on car roads, 80-year-old men in the White House, or … children in parks?

Arlington, Massachusetts, has diagnosed such a “problem,” as residents have complained that too many preschool and day care children are using the park. The city has decided that the solution to this “problem” is to start charging preschools and day cares based on the hours they use the park. Arlington’s Recreation Department director said the intention is not to financially burden these schools or day cares.
