In the neighbourhood I lived in Hamilton, many people had parking permits, because many of the homes had no parking. It really was necessary at times as there was a busy shopping street very nearby, at least occasionally parking would be quite limited. Those permits were not even ten dollars a month, which I figure could barely even cover the cost of delivering the program. Still some people managed to complain about the cost.
If we ever need resident on-street parking permits in KW (I can't imagine where- which neighbourhoods have a lot of properties with no onsite parking?), the fee would not be $50 per month.
I think the properties we started talking about all have driveways, so a fee higher than $10 or $20/month is quite justifiable in my opinion. Of course any fee greater than $0 will elicit some complaints.
