Re “Protect Balboa Park — from those who would charge for parking” (Oct. 8): Nearly every time you print letters, it seems there is at least one discussing the parking fees that are looming in early 2026. The city is heavily counting on that money for its budget. So, instead of everyone complaining, how about for, say, the first month after the fees go into effect, no city or county residents use the park? As voters, we have two ways to make our views clear: with the ballot box and our wallets.
