Making people move cars after a snow storm makes sense-- and discouraging people from driving to, say, Davis square and using the streets as a commuter lot makes sense.
But the 48-hour rule is in effect at all times-- though rarely enforced. I'm not really sure what the point of it is.
Now, it's tempting to say we Should increase the cost of parking permits, discouraging marginal car users from owning cars....
But that doesn't cut down on driving-- just on parking. The people who cut down on car ownership don't drive much anyway....
