Can someone explain to my why you or people are opposed to having permit parking on their street? It seems that people are constantly complaining that its hard to find parking in their neighborhood but also feel like every Tom, Dick and Sally from with NJ, Delaware, and the PA burbs should be able to park on their street for as long as they want. Commonsense and best practices is to limit parking in area where it is tight to residents, employees of businesses and require visitors parking over a certain period of time to obtain a visitor permit or pay to park. A parking permit is $35 a year and the cost to maintain and operate a car is exponentially more than that so cost can’t be a reason.

When I lived in DC almost every street has permit parking and the mentally there is that we should reserve parking space for DC resident only and people from MD and VA should have to get a visitor’s permit, pay to park or take public transit or Uber into the city.
