Every community requesting residential parking permits (RPP) should be required to double their existing meters and institute increasing rates for each added hour of stay. This would be the most effective deterrent to outsider commuter parking and offset the RPP preemption of spaces for transient, while generating revenues for community improvement that will not be available from the mayor's virtually no-cost RPPs. However, even if RPPs were to cost a modified market rate of $1,250 a year or $4 a day and were used on 75% of the spaces in an area of,say,1,000 spaces, they would generate 30% of the revenues of doubling metered spaces at graduated rates, $3.3 million.
