When she purchased the condo she also bought a residential parking permit, which lets her park her car on a street near her home for $25 a year.

I really don't understand this, aside from the idea being dumb -- why don't they just make the hours you can park on the street with the pass later -- why do they charge such low prices for it in the first place?
