To the spouter who thinks that anyone with a kind heart should be pleased that the spouter has a guaranteed parking space because the city granted them a parking permit: I have to disagree. You bought a house without off-street parking long after horse travel, and the price you paid for that house reflected the parking deficiency. Now, you want the city, and other people who need parking, to subsidize your imprudent decision by giving you a dedicated parking space right in front of your house? I have a very kind heart, but I refuse to support the shortsightedness of others.
