Is parking a bitch in the city?

Not in my experience, ADL CBD parking is plentiful and cheap..especially by Eastern Seaboard standards...$2/hour M-F for example in many places. $8 all day parking Early bird during the Work week. I don't work in the city, so my numbers could be slightly out.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I just don't see why the issue de-jour is parking?
Its like, if you oppose the AdOv redevelopment, your mantra is "but there's no car parking! OMG!"
Opposition on the grounds that it may ruin the ambiance of the Oval or you believe that a Docklands style 50,000 seat covered multi-purpose stadium should have been built over the rail yards I could understand, but car parking...really that's your major negative trump card against this proposal?

I don't think Jeff intends anything to be negative trump card against the proposal. Comprehension fail.

Car parking is terrible at a lot of stadia. If the government does build a tram line and provide matchday public transport then I really don't see the issue.

Skilled Park is one that springs to mind. Zero car parking but good access nonetheless.

I wasn't talking about Jeffles, but the whinging attitude towards change that often exists in the city of Adelaide:(

Two things.

1) Nobody in Adelaide thinks it's a city. This is a fail.

2) The Cranker is clearly the best pub in Australia. The Austral however pulls you down to a P2 after moderation.

It depends on what you're after - emos, goths, punks, metalheads, dykes and fags, suits, uni students? Cranker.

Here comes the PR campaign.

The 500 million stadium that became the 600 million dollar stadium - but you can use your iPhone!
