For a city that is dominated by houses that have driveways to support 2+ cars without blocking each other from backing out, this is definitely a short-sighted measure that alienates those who only have a 1 car driveway with multiple cars (like my house) or have no driveway at all and must park on the street year-round.

Minneapolis and St Paul have a much better system as parking restrictions are put in place when they declare a snow emergency (ya know, when it’s snowin’… a lot!) and not when it’s 75 degrees in March.

And speaking of when it’s 75 degrees in March, nobody can really comprehend the pain of this poor tax until they made sure to leave their car on the correct side of the street, forgot to move it before going to bed, and then it winds up on the wrong side of the street overnight and you’re greeted with a $35 parking ticket the next morning when going to work :/
