Not bad.

This seems like a nice balance, and approach. I'm bummed about the 8 streets changing to 2 hour limit during the day; but can definitely live with it.

No, they're changing them to restricted parking overnight. 2 hour limit is almost irrelevant in this case. If you're from outside Somerville and parking at those times, it's probably for an overnight visit with someone in Somerville, so either you can park there 'til morning, or you can't park there at all. The new rules are basically that you can't park there at all.

They might mitigate that by assigning guest permits per-resident rather than per-household. As things stand now, when people are sharing an apartment they also share guest permits.
