I'm all for cars parking in the street, I just don't see why it should be free.
Why should a car owner get free storage space? Either there isn't enough for everybody, in which case the market should determine the value to deal with the scarcity. Or there is, and I should be able to use it to store other things with my allotment. Land isn't free, and there's opportunity cost in allocating significant parts of it for parking. If you don't think there's enough value in the land to make people pay, I'd ask why people need to park on the street and not on their own property in the first place.
