Clarification: they created a gradiated system for residential parking permits, where getting a permit for a second car costs more than the first. Which isnt the worst idea.

I live in a small city in England and this is the way resident on-street parking permits have worked for decades. Most neighborhoods consist mainly of row houses with no parking spaces of their own, so on-street's the most common parking option. The first permit costs very little (£30/year), the next one is four times as much, which is still an order of magnitude cheaper than any other kind of parking you can find.
