How should parking be priced in college towns?

"These places also sometimes experience surges in demand for access to the central area that are seasonal or otherwise cyclical. In the summer, they are surreal—all or most of the amenities intended for a larger, denser population with far fewer people competing for them. Football Saturdays present the opposite problem: the city’s population may double half a dozen days a year"

Yeah, parking pricing really is the wrong question. The first ten miles around any campus should be extremely walkable and have infrastructure for bikes and shuttles.
