[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some, it seems, would be happy if every family in a single family home moved out to the suburbs.  I am by no means wealthy, but I have a house with no driveway, and I park on the street.  I don't purport to own the space in front of my house, but I pay for a zone sticker that generally allows me to park near home.  If they put meters in all residential neighborhoods, I will have to move.  Like it or not, I rely on a car to get to work, take my kids to certain activities, birthday parties, etc.  I use it as little as possible, but I will move if I can't have a car here.  Does DC want everyone in my situation to leave town?[/quote]

Are you saying that if you had to pay more than $50 a year to park your vehicle on the street, you would move to Maryland or Virginia?[/quote]

I would happily pay $50, but it would cost far more to feed a meter 24/7.[/quote]

If you pay for zone sticker that generally allows you to park near home, you actually are paying $50. That's how much they cost. $50 a year. 14 cents a day for you to park your car on the street in your zone.[/quote]

That's as it is now.  I will move if I have to feed a meter all day to park near my home.[/quote]
