So you're basing your entire opinion and placing your bets on a singular event?
We were at Spanish Springs town square for dinner when Cold Blue Stone was playing in the square, there was also an event of some kind at the Sharon Morse theatre. Even the lot between the golf cart bridge and Ay Jalisco had several rows of cars where usually there might be just a handful or two.
Many people don't WANT to park on the street, because getting in and out of spaces when it's busy is difficult. Some days, the streets are closed to vehicular traffic, pedestrians only.
Residential tenants don't only need to be there at night when no one is around. They should have assigned parking spaces. But unless there's someone available to ENFORCE that, it won't happen, and someone who pays for the privilege of living AT the square, will have to not park anywhere near their own place of residence, because someone who's "only there for an hour" has chosen their spot to park in before the resident came home from whatever he was doing.
You need assigned parking spaces and someone to enforce that. You need a way to SAFELY secure overnight parking for golf carts that are very easily rolled onto a flatbed when everyone's asleep and all the businesses are closed for the night.
And so - the idea is - a garage, at least for golf carts/bikes/segways/ultra-compacts like Smart Cars.
Either that or somehow build a barrier between the spaces closest to the apartments and the rest of the parking lot, accessible only by building-specific gate key or window tag.
