New York has reasonably high (and realistic) parking pricing. Where I live it's outrageously high (deliberately so on political grounds—not because of restricted space (there's much more space available where I live). Introducing political idealism to deliberately hurt people just because one can is counterproductive and in the long term will do more damage than good (for starters, it's extremely alienating and likely to turn people off even a quite noble cause).
