Blog Post 2- Parking Problem

Right outside my apartment there is loads of parking! Plenty of space for the residents in Heritage Halls.. but wait. That little sign with the letter "G"  keeps anyone actually living in these apartments from parking there. I'm not hating on Graduate students because I'm sure they've worked so hard to earn their parking place, but I'm not taking the parking places in front of their apartment building, so why should they be able to park in front of mine? While I don't actually have a car here at BYU, two of my roommates do and countless others in my ward do as well. The only parking available besides about 10 highly coveted spaces is the parking down at LaVell Stadium. Imagine these poor souls walking all the way from LaVell Stadium in the cold after getting home late from work or a grocery trip. The streets of Provo, Utah are not safe, especially for new freshman who haven't learned how things run in this city. If your little sister was walking that far at night, would you feel uncomfortable and nervous for her? Yes. You would.

The big question I'm going to answer in my opinion editorial is "What should we do?" I feel like this question has two possible solutions. Either let the residents of Heritage Halls park in front of their building, or build other parking for the Graduate students. I don’t want to make any one upset here, and if there was a way we could satisfy both sides and accomplish both solutions that would be great.
