There are simple things the city can do to manage on-street parking. They could permit overnight parking or prohibit overnight parking. Both strategies are more equitable and sensible than arbitrary and costly parking mandates. People are free to oen cars and they alone should bear the cost and burden of storing them.

Cars are a necessity in those areas and not providing off-street parking/driveways will only cause battles over on-street parking.

Over 2 million cars registered in NYC, 85% of them in the outer boros, so it looks to me that a lot of New Yorkers like their cars. 52% of outer borough households have a car.
