Good point... I used to live at 301 Sunset, which was originally a single family home, and if I recall correctly is now 8 apartments (or 6?). There is a large garage behind the house, with a short but wide driveway. But, the owner rents this out separately to someone to use as a workshop, so residents are not allowed to park there. With very little effort, between the building, and the driveway, she could arrange to have parking for the tenants there, or at least most of them.

I live in a 2 family home that was converted from a single family. I have 1 car as does my downstairs neighbor. The guy east of me commutes by train and doesn't own a car. The guy to the west has a car and lot's of visitors. Am I wrong to think it's absurd to pay for a permit that doesn't guarantee parking in front of my home, just around 1 large block? I can forget about 2nd Ave, because those spaces are always occupied by residents. Bergh, forget about it, and there's no way I'll park at night on Bergh between AP Ave and 1st because it's a high break-in area. What value do I then get to give the city $30 basically for nothing? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "oakdorf" <oakdorf@...> wrote: > > Good question. > > 1.
