In reference to the comment that these regulations had to balance several things, including the city's need for revenue. In my opinion, parking restrictions should NOT be to provide revenue to the city. If that's the case, then every time the city needs money, they will make parking more difficult to enhance revenue. They will also ticket much more aggressively (as has been happening lately). Parking restrictions should be to enhance the quality of life of the residents, and to help businesses to attract customers, and that's it. I'm sick to death of paying more money every year for the privilege of parking a car on a city street which I have already supported through higher and higher taxes.
