Fact is, it's a cost of doing business in the City. If you've ever been there during a weekday, all you see are the FedEx and DHL trucks and the UPS package cars double parked on every street. It's the only way they can get their overnight letters and packages delivered in a timely manner. If they had to actually find a parking space, they'd be screwed. That, or they would have to park on 11th avenue and walk over to midtown. Hell, when I lived in the City, I had $50,000 in parking tickets. The good news is that they don't even come after you until you've built up a quarter-million dollars in parking tickets, and then, only if they don't like you.
