we don't own a car but on the 1-2 occasions a year that we RENT one there is never a place to park in our neighborhood, yet the locals continually claim these free spaces - there should be a limit on local parking and car use in Manhattan proper, we are in affordable housing so the paying to park over night is a huge expense which could be eliminated by some sort of system that allowed everyone the opportunity to park on the street and drive in town here but not every single day like one is entitled to this, some kind of voucher system, also just too many cars, we live by West Street and the excessive number of vehicles with one driver frequently on a cell phone is insane, mandatory car pooling needs to be put into place here to cut back on this traffic and more enforcement of the phone distraction, it's not about someone else's convenience at the expense of someone else's air quality
