    It’s a stupid study designed to answer the question “if we give money to just car owners or just rich people… will they be happy/comply”. One of the problems is it costs money to measure/police compliance for any conditional aid.

    Another approach to discouraging undesirable behaviour is to tax it. Revenue instead of expense, including just funding such a pointless study. Parking fees/taxes where you don’t want people to go is pretty easy.
