I should clarify: everywhere land is scarce and the government isn't moronically not charging what they should for street parking. I have an even worse example than yours: my brother and his gf live in lower manhattan and are somehow able to find and park their car completely free on the street somewhat close to them. My jaw dropped when I heard that as I think it is beyond ridiculous.
