NIMBYs want a guaranteed spot in the street in front of their house instead of taking the extra minute to use their garage (or they can't because of all the #### they own and never use). Put a price on that space and the issue will resolve itself.

Typically this is resolved in most cities with a nominal fee for street parking and permits. I have no problem with a reasonable pay per use fee. Contrary to popular belief, people do not own the sidewalks or roads in front of their house, and the city, not them, pays for their upkeep.
Growing up in Calgary, I always hated people who parked unnecessarily on the roads. Very disruptive to my cycling, skateboarding, and street hockey games.
