I just moved into an inner city house on a permitted street. Our neighbourhood would see a substantial increase in traffic if opened to parking so in that sense the permit system is necessary and working here. Now, I have a garage so frankly don't care too much about the city charging for additional residential permitted spots. And frankly, $50/car for full time parking is pretty good value anyway.
But I also have friends who come over and visit occasionally, and being able to give them a visitor spot is a nice gesture (we don't have a driveway). Under the current system I get two visitor spots. The proposal is $75 per permit, so $150/year for my friends to park for an hour or two at a time? That seems steep.
