If anything, the 14 days could be reduced but this part of the program already works. IDK why we have to start charging $150/year for it. Again, the problem isn't temporary cars parked on the street, it's permanent storage. Yet somehow the temporary visitor rates are higher than the permanent "i don't use my garage because parking on the street is cheap" rates!
I haven't heard any complaints from residents, or seen the city explain what their issue would be with this part of the program. To me it seems like an overreach by administration to help them reach their cost target and to avoid having to put the full cost on permanent parking (probably in a failed attempt to avoid backlash). |
It works in the protectionist bull#### areas (who should really pay more for their privilege, and there should not be (m)any restrictions on who can buy)...does it work in the highest demand areas currently being targetted?
