In the core with lots of row houses, you have to have a permit, but that only entitles you to park on that block. You can end up at the end of your block 100 yards away with two bags of groceries in winter.
We bought a house on a corner, selling agent was a friend of the old lady's family and he was from the burbs where every house has parking so he didn't think about it.
We got the house w/blvd parking. Later, another agent told us the house was under-priced by $10-12K because the 'burban agent didn't know the value of blvd parking in the core.

I don't get the whole Resident Parking thing. If your accommodation does not include a parking spot, and you need one, why is the City's responsibility to save you one on the street?
Why should the City give a commuter free parking at work? Why should we clog residential streets with people parking all day, every day?

We should ban all parking, except for very short term (for deliveries and quick errands). Piss everyone off, done.

Let's make all street parking paid parking, rather than ban it. Add in some drop off zones for passengers, and some delivery zones for commercial vehicles, both with strict time limits. Then it's fair to everyone.

Meh, I'd leave those people alone. There's plenty of parking for everyone and if someone thinks their special spot is a special spot just leave them be.
Know it all.
