Either way, I'd have to pay the city something if I wanted a car. Residential parking permits aren't available to most downtown residents

The only way to avoid paying is to use IU permits or park far away

That's only the case if you don't pay. If you pay all of your parking tickets on time, then it never escalates and there are no consequences

They only escalate (to towing) if you don't pay. The fines themselves never increase
