I quite like Toronto's system. It's not free, but it prioritizes residents and guarantees you a spot on your street. it's $25/month for one car but gets significantly more expensive if you register multiple cars or have private parking.
Not a fan of cars in general, but as far as parking goes it seems to work well, especially coming from NYC which is the wild west
At $25/month, it's still a massive subsidy provided by all citizens...
$25 is laughable for the amount of real estate the car takes up and the inconvenience and opportunity cost for literally everyone except the driver...
People use their cars as storage lockers in my neighborhood.... the car sits there all year round stuffed FULL of junk. why pay $100/mo for a storage space when you the city will give you 50sqft public space for 25$
Back when Leticia James was Public Advocate of NYC, she was pushing for residential parking permits of that sort. Would love to see that initiative revived.
