Finding parking in Manhattan can be like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.
"It’s annoying. Actually I had to pay $20 to find parking ‘cause I thought I was going to get a ticket and it's a $115 ticket. It's not fun at all,” said one driver.
The situation is made worse thanks to the tens of thousands of city employees who enjoy the perks of city-issued placards to park at will, while everyone else circles the block in desperation.
It's gotten so bad in Lower Manhattan, according to a recent study, that there are now three times as many drivers without placards as there are parking spots available.
No more says City Hall, which announced Wednesday it's slashing the number of placards by more than one third.
Heh, welcome to the club of can't find parking. Mass Transit for the win?
