In the summer, our street is comfortable to park on -- you can park a car within one house up or down or across the street from where you want, usually. If you figure the density is 2/3 of the parking spaces taken up in the summer, that's not too bad.
Then, in the winter, that means that when one side needs to be plowed, there are a third again as many cars as can fit on the side that you can park on.
So, *except* when it snows, we have no parking scarcity here. When it snows, there is jockeying for spots.
I don't own a car, but I understand the problem. It's not to discourage people from using the (T), it's to get people to spend a few minutes every couple of days to show they're paying attention.
How is this any worse on a car owner, T rider or not, than the drill where they do either side street sweeping every few days?
