There is no "right" to a free parking space in front of your home. It is public space and there should be a public benefit for ALL residents for those who use it.
I'm OK with rich gentrifiers feeding the meter in front of their home so the less fortunate in the city can finally eat. That's why I only have a bike you might want to try it sometime.

Everyone! Let’s have metered parking everywhere on all streets in all wards.
That wouldn't be fair. It makes sense to ask the rich chip in a little more but we shouldn't be hounding low income people with needless parking tickets.
Or any type of moving violation. It’s ok to have residents and visitors in poor communities flout existing laws and/or have no laws at all. The residents love that whole lawlessness thing going on. And different laws for different people is not only equitable but makes neighborhoods safer and promotes good citizenship in all wards.
You're not very good at this.

If blocks are too much, please consider Metro.
Has anyone done this in the last decade? I don't think Cleveland Park has been an entertainment destination since the '90s, really!
