Your right on most points but what I am seeing locally is people just parking on wide streets that do not have strict parking limits. For instance, in Mountain View there are a couple of streets filled with RV's and in my neighborhood adjacent to Mountain View where I see a parked vw van with shades drawn on all the windows down the street from me. I have gotten a ticket for street parking and leaving my car there for more than three days so I assume these people just move their vehicles every couple of days so not the model predicted by this article.
