I like the permit option. Permit revenues could cover enforcement to ensure that vehicles aren't overhanging the road or the sidewalk, and would force people to think about the choice, and make sure that they actually want this rather than just cleaning out the garage.
I started reading this thread opposed, but it was a good point about increasing density in the suburbs. I may not like that three adults in the house means you need three cars, but I'd rather that than more suburbs. Just don't make it free, because I want people to think twice before owning another car.
Also, make sure that each permit is good for one year, and it must be re-applied for each winter. Makes it easier to take away boulevards for cycling infrastructure.
