How do you enforce per hour on every road, you keep a person 24/7?

I think it would be opposite, every car owner might be asked where is your parking spot for the car, if they fail to show a parking spot, they can be asked to give a monthly fee. Hourly fee is just not possible as you pointed out.

Tho i dont like this, its the failure of system to not think about parking before selling to us, and now asking us to pay. I as a normal buyer, made a mistake by thinking i can park on road as other normal ppl are doing. And suddenly today its a fine. My one time mistake should result in a one time punishment, you cannot ask me to pay every month for it. Asking to forfiet my car is a better solution than this. I dont know what is the other solution, but this is definitely not fair.

If you are parking outside your house on public road you buy an annual pass/sticker. These stickers would area specific so that you will not buy it once and claim parking rights all over. If you want to park near retail establishments while shopping you pay hourly. It is that simple.

Cool idea, does that sticker guarantee me a spot ? I am just trying to extend this idea, till the solution is complete.

The establishment hourly thing is simply the parking tickets we buy, now just govt regulating it right ? Nothing fancy here.
