I wonder if the people who contributed money to help fund the upcoming Porters steakhouse at Century Square would have been so eager to contribute had they known parking was going to be paid. During the Nextseed campaign, people specifically asked about parking as a concern and were assured there were over 1,200 parking spaces to be "shared among the commercial uses". No mention that this was going to be paid parking was made:

Unlike other tenants, Porters appears to be at least partially owned by Midway, the developers of all of Century Square.
