Pricey Gridlock Sam,

Why is street parking still totally free in NYC?

Charles

Expensive Charles,

Ah, Charles, if we can only convert back the clock 70 yrs or so. It wasn’t till 1954 that the city officially allowed overnight parking but by the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, as auto possession boomed, the law enforcement dismissed it. My father’s ‘47 Dodge was parked right away on Tapscott St in Brownsville at all several hours. Following Alternate Side Parking was launched in the ‘50s, cops commenced disregarding double-parking in some neighborhoods on avenue-cleansing days. Now the authorities are enabling motorists with faux paper plates, out-of-condition plates and even no plates to park on our streets.

It is time for the city to clamp down on phony paper plates, phony placards and phony out-of-condition registration! Several metropolitan areas charge citizens a charge to park overnight. I just never see that in the cards with the latest administration.
