To me, the problem is giving away publicly owned land to people who don't need handouts. Charging market rates fixes that problem.

Should we also charge for the parks and schools in rich neighborhoods?

market rates for parking would still unequitably favor the wealthy. to be equitable, parking fees would need to be wealth-weighted/income-based.

you're missing the part where only the wealthy are using these spaces in the first place (speaking specifically about Manhattan)
