Cost to park in Concourse garage not "prohibitive"

There's a parking garage underneath.

From that NY Times story on cars in Golden Gate Park I've blogged about:
Ms. Newcomer said she was particularly concerned about seniors and those with disabilities getting to the museum without ample parking nearby. There is a nearby underground parking garage, but she said the $33 charge — not decided by the museums — is prohibitive for many.
Evidently the reporter didn't check Ms. Newcomer's misleading claim---assuming she was quoted accurately---since it turns out that $33 is the maximum that can be charged---and that's only on weekends---by the parking garage under the Concourse. 

You would have to park there for more than five hours to be charged the maximum:

Open:
7 am - 7 pm
Additional hours may be posted for special events.

Hourly rate:
$5.25 weekdays, $29.00 maximum
$6.25 weekends, $33.00 maximum
$6.25 Evenings after 5:30 pm
