Home Parking Fee

It appears that residents in Sacramento, California, will be required to pay $5 annually to park in front of their domiciles. Each resident will get a sticker and a bothersome, yet reasonable, expectation that the city will raise the fee in the future. Once politicians get a mechanism to extract money from the public, they'll push to have it continually increased, and they'll be successful. If politicians thought they could get away with putting toll plazas on sidewalks, they would do it.
