Long-time residents of Dubai's Al Khail Gate community are moving to other locations ahead of the paid parking system that comes into effect from June 17.
The residents of the locality said that the paid parking has added to their expenses which they are unable to afford. Those relocating are mostly families owning two cars and more.
"I was staying in Al Khail for six years with my family. We are leaving because of the parking issue," said Tanya.
She added that earlier the AC was free and now it is also paid.
"This is in addition to the rent and now to top it all the parking. It works out to be very expensive for us."
She added that with this amount they could move to other good locations with better facilities.
Audit Manager Salim Azam moved from the Al Khail Gate with his family as he owned two cars.
"We lived in a two-bedroom apartment and had two cars. The rent was already high and could not afford to pay for the parking. I could get permit for one car but had to pay 24/7 for another car. So we decided to move," he told Khaleej Times.
Sweatha Prince will be relocating with her family once their tenancy contract expires on July 23.
"We had been living here for five years in a two bedroom flat and have two cars. Since living here has become unaffordable because of parking, we will be leaving in the first week of July."
Mishal Abdul Rahim said he had to shift with his parents and wife from a two-bedroom apartment as they owned two cars.
