Yes, they absolutely should. Here in Chicago, a residential street parking permit costs $25 per year per car and allows you to park in a specific zone near your residence. 24-hour permits for visitors are sold in sheets that end up costing just slightly more than 50 cents each. The program more or less brings in revenue to pay for itself but makes getting street parking much more fair.
- dmurray 6y ago50c per week or 50c per day is pretty much free by Manhattan standards. Market rate should probably be around 100 times that cost.
- OldHand2018 6y agoIt's pretty much free by Chicago standards too. That's not the point. You can only get the parking stickers if you live nearby! Oh, I forgot to mention that you cannot buy more then 45 of the 24-hour passes per 30-day period. And that's per address, so if you have roommates or a spouse their purchases are all aggregated together.
