Hello, cwlumm, thank you for your comment. The dynamic parking and parking benefit district ideas are definitely interesting.
However, would these be City government issues as opposed to state government issues? If so, could you think of a politically viable way that a state bill could increase parking revenue further than the tax exemption proposal currently does?
If on-street parking were priced properly, it would be at LEAST as expensive as a garage.Think about it: It's more valuable. You get to park close to where you live or work. You can access your car at any time. A garage requires you walk a distance from where you are, and wait for an attendant. While I understand that most New Yorkers (of which I am a lifelong resident) believe free on-street parking is their god-given right, it isn't.I agree with the problems of "Residential" passes, too. There aren't enough spots for everybody. How do you intend to accommodate the five families who live in a brownstone which is only as wide as one car?
