    What I don't understand is whatever you may have meant by "they are clearly charging what they can get away with rather than what it actually costs to operate those places" that isn't 'they are clearly charging what they can get away with rather than what it actually costs to operate those places', as those words are self-explanatory....
    Your mistake was not reading the earlier posts in the thread, that give this context.

    Good luck figuring it out.
    Once again, I do get the wider context about displaced parking near airports but was specifically commenting on one particular remark, but clearly my mistake was to waste time engaging with someone who pops up every day or two to post a range of bizarre non-sequiturs - perhaps I'll have enough self-control not to make that mistake again, and to leave pigeon chess to the grandmasters....
