If You Have To Ask...
Here's a classic letter to the editor from the Brookline TAB, in which a resident of that ever-so "progressive" enclave expresses his bewilderment over the town's restrictions on overnight resident parking.
Mr. Bewilderment then proceeds to answer his own question (unbeknown to himself) in the next paragraph.

While the transportation board debates the two-hour parking rule, I remain bewildered by the larger question of why we Brookline residents have to endure an overnight parking ban on all streets all year round.
Mr. Bewilderment then proceeds to answer his own question (unbeknown to himself) in the next paragraph.
When we have overnight guests we have to trek to the police headquarters to get a $10 Guest Overnight parking permit, drive in a two-car caravan to the designated lot where such spaces are hopefully available to drop off the guest car, and then race back to the lot by 10 a.m., the next morning so as to not get a meter fine.
You see, Mr. Netsky, it's all about public safety.
