[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least it's your immediate neighbor whom you know.  I live in NW DC a few blocks from one of those Millennial-oriented apartment buildings that opened with virtually no parking.  (The planners and developers claim that new residents don't drive.  Yeah, right, and in any event they sure own cars.)  Some of the new residents have out of state registered cars but have gotten hold of "visitor" parking placards which allow them to park for free on area streets, avoiding DC registration and taxes.  Then, they'll leave their vehicles for a week or two at a time in front of the house.  It's a public street, of course, but it's annoying to lug toddlers and groceries some distance, knowing that we register our cars and pay all the fees and the myopic Millennials just park where they feel like it while flouting the system.[/quote]

You raise two issues here.

One is people abusing the parking placards.  Totally valid complaint.

Two is you not being able to find a parking place near your house or apartment.  This is on you.  Honestly, what did you expect living in the city in a place without a reserved parking spot??

Yup. When I lived in DC, I spent six grand for a parking spot at my condo. Street parking is what it is. Young, single residents "deserve" it as much as those with small kids, etc.[/quote]
