Yeah, it makes sense--makes sure that only the people who belong are in there, and that they're able to use the funds to effectively maintain the facilities for those folks.

But, I can't imagine riding in those temperatures, even for a short commute. And the traffic. A stoplight every 1/2 a mile in every direction, for hundreds of miles.
My aunt/uncle and cousins used to live in Tempe too.

I moved to Tucson a year ago from Wisconsin, and I'm finding the riding in the heat not as bad as I thought it would be. Granted, it's often a few degrees cooler here than up in Phx, and my commute is short, but the other day I biked the 3ish miles home in a sunny 101F and would have been fine to keep going. Knowing there was air conditioning and a shower waiting at the other end helped... but that's the beauty of the parking hub, too, no?
