Car tax rates are banded. The bands are determined by the level of carbon dioxide emitted by cars and other road vehicles.

Spot staking is, of course, common only in older high density urban areas where street parking is predominant. In property law, we call such behavior the "law of capture" and "first in time, first in right" and apply similar rules to hunting, homesteading, oil extraction, and water rights in the West. Suburbanites and suburbanite wanna-bes have private garages. Denver and some other airports have designated cell phone waiting areas.

After having lived in small towns myself and knowing how unique their issues and ways of governing themselves are, my belief is that the remedy for overly happy motoring must be given in city-specific doses. Ultimately, the problem is a local government and grassroots one. So I have no categorically applicable answers, though I wish I did. As for the law of human nature with regards to this winter parking issue, it is in opposition to the laws of Chicago and is, therefore, illegal, most likely because the streets are for public and not private use. There is a god! LOL! By the way, I think that people lied about god's nasty nature for crowd control purposes, but that's another issue. LOL!
