On the free market, we would have had to pay on the order of $8,000/year after taxes to park one car. That covers an awful lot of tax increases, and/or legal fees of the neighborhood association to protect the status quo…

The year I left, they allowed a high rise-apartment building on the condition tenants would *not* be eligible for resident parking. Supposedly, there is a market for affluent millennial who are happy to do without cars. Time will tell.
