Why would you not have a permit if you live there?[/quote]

I know someone who lives on a street in AU Park that doesn't have the 'Zone 3 permit parking' sign, so he was not issued a permit for his car.  So - even though he lives here, when he comes to my house, where we do have the sign, technically he shouldn't park for more than 2 hours in the day time.

However, there are cars from other zones, MD and VA that park on my street for days and no one says anything.

Anyways, I don't think the garage thing is a big issue, but I wanted to answer PP's question - it can actually happen that you live here and don't have a permit.[/quote]

So your friend's issue really is that his street isn't zoned, which others have described as the preferable scenario. This really isn't an issue of not having a permit to park by your house, this is a visitor's issue. I guess there are possible problems that arise when some streets within a neighborhood are not zoned while most are. Overall, I think zoning is in favor of the residents because it protects their parking options. Also, many people aren't aware that a "Zone 3" sticker isn't valid within all of zone 3 - it's only valid within your ANC. So even if your friend had a sticker, he might not be able to park in front of your house for extended periods during business hours if he is over the line to another ANC.[/quote]

PP again. Also, why can't your friend use your visitor's pass? The only time we had those issues was when we had lost our visitor's pass at the time my parents visited.[/quote]

PP, I think you misunderstand me.  I wasn't complaining at all about this situation.  I was attempting to explain to the person I quoted as to how this type of scenrio could come about.  That's all.  I do offer my visitor pass to guests.[/quote]

That was actually me who asked that question, in response to someone saying that getting a ticket because you don't have a permit would be a problem when you own a house without a garage in an area zoned for resident parking. What I was getting at is that if you do live in a zoned area, you will necessarily have a permit and a visitor pass, so not having a garage is a non-issue unless you have multiple visitors with cars at the same time during business hours. That was all I was trying to say.[/quote]
