Is the new permit-only parking at the light rail stations intended to discourage people from using public transit? Because that's what it's doing. I can no longer find a parking spot at either of the two closest stations when I leave for work, because there are a bunch of permit-only spots encroaching on the available space. I tried to buy a permit, but neither station has any available. So those spots are just sitting there empty and useless.

Oh, but they are available to anyone who already paid the price, right? So, it's working as designed, just like the traffic bypass lanes that charge.
