$30 per year gives you street parking access, if you live in a house on that street. If you live in an apartment (>4 units), you are required pay $30 per month to park on the same street ($330 more per year!). Doesn’t it stand to reason that if I could afford to live in a detached home in my desired area, I would? Why should I have to pay more for my parking, just because I can’t afford a single-family home? What if I purchased my apartment? Am I less of a home owner than my neighbour? What a great example of a thoughtless municipal policy! Adding unnecessary barriers, to a non-existent problem. Way to go H.R.M. —North End Neighbour

Hmmm… something doesn’t add up. If I cared, I’d check your assertions.
There are other options. $100 a month gets you parking lot parking. $30 a month is a great deal. If you cant afford it, get another job or sell you car. You do realize that this is a pay society right. BTW the home owner is paying 3 times the municipal taxes that the apartment building owner does. This is a typical sense of entitlement culture.
I lived on Cornwallis years ago and went through this but mine was $40 a month because it was Zone A, you appear to be in Zone C. I had also looked into the parking situation in the North End prior to signing the lease. Still a valid Bitch though but I’m sure you understand why its this way. One mid- sized apartment building on any of the 16 streets with “permit parking only” would clog the area indefinitely. Unfortunately any building with more then four units should have parking available and if not the city really doesn’t care.
Apartment dwellers would resell their permits if they were only $30 per year. They don’t care how cluttered the streets are with out of town commuters that should have parked at a terminal like Sackville Terminal.
Poor people don’t have cars, because they’re poor. Pay for parking and shut the fuck up!
My building doesn’t have visitor parking.
What I can’t understand is how they didn’t think beforehand to provide adequate parking.
This isn’t middle-class Dominican Republic….
Welcome to walmart…All the locks on this shelf are free.
Keys cost $30
Or conversely why people who own a car or going to get one don’t get a place that has parking.
Hey! I live in an apartment building that has parking and I don’t own a vehicle! $20.00 a month and it’s yours!
