Bad ideas are easy.... (Score 1)

In a city where everyone is looking for places to park, if people know that they can get free parking in front of an apple store, they will. It will be next to impossible to find those spots freed because people who work in the neighborhood will take them before any customers could, and they will stay there all day. Then comes the issue of enforcement, which is a nightmare unto itself and will create more issues than the money apple is willing to pay is worth. Not to mention the fact that it gives other companies license to request the same thing. It sounds like a really good idea without the common sense. I can understand why the city would respond negatively.
