I have been cited twice this month at my college for not having a parking permit. Why do people have to pay for parking, day after day? Is it unconstitutional?

You are not being forced to park on campus. Therefore, there are no rights being denied. You have been offered a more convienient area to park your vehicle if you wish to do so. The owner of this area wants compenstion and you can either agree or disagree to pay the cost.

That problem exists with many colleges and universities where there isn't enough parking for the students. Often times,it's first come ,first served and everyboby else has to find their own parking on the street. Many times taking a risk by parking in a "No Parking Zone".
What I used to do was get there at about 6:00 a.m. and park close to the building in a regular parking space. I would then go take a little nap at the Student Services building,lol.

Yes, in addition to formating our government and establishing individual rights, the framers of the Consitution took time to include a provision declaring paying for parking unconstitutional
Of course its legal!

I find it distressing to see so many people talk as if everything that they don't like is "unconstitutional."
In order to decide what is or is not "unconstitutional," simply consult: 1) the U.S. Constitution itself, and 2) the Supreme Court's caselaw in which they purport (or in some cases, pretend) that they have interpreted the Constitution.
With my knowledge of how constitutional law works, I would have to say no, it is not unconstitutional to have parking laws nor to enforce them.

Unconstitutional? I don't think so. You are choosing to rent a piece of private property (or not to, given your citations). It is a section of land for rent by students. Your question ought to be about fair prices for student parking, I think.
Parking is often a source of revenue for schools. I think that you would do better to speak to your student union about fair parking prices given the poverty levels of many students.

I hope this is a "freshman question"
Pretty sure parking is not mentioned in the constitution directly or indirectly anywhere.
Dude, it is rent. They have spaces, you want it, they rent it to you for a while.
If you don't want to pay for it, then park off campus or find another way to get there.

If you can find anywhere in the constitution where having to pay for parking is unconstitutional, then please by all means bring it to my attention.
A nice bit of humour. But I'm afraid parking is not something discussed in the constitution.

Your purely threat is to teach that your automobile ought to no longer were there to receive the tickets. And understand that the prisons are finished of individuals who imagine that the regulations they violated are unconstitutional. good success on looking a parrot to provide the ten factors to.

It is their property so they have a right to set the rules. If you don't like it, you need to get a bike or walk to campus. Just part of growing up. Life is going to get tougher as you get older and you can't fight every little thing that ruffles your feathers.
