I still don't have a permit

[avjudge]

I didn't have a permit, and still don't. Or visitor permits. I have a driveway large enough for my single car and 5 others, way bigger than I ever need. When I drive somewhere in Somerville it either has a parking lot (Market Basket, Assembly Square, Target) or metered parking (Davis) - and I park in metered spots rarely enough (pretty much just about half the Wednesdays in farmers' market season) that a permit wouldn't pay, or barely would and isn't worth the hassle of getting it. And within Somerville I often just walk if it's within a mile and a little, and most of Somerville is.
