[Summit] mail and alternate side of the street

[Andrew Nosal]

It is the car owner, not the landlord who would purchase a parking  
permit.

Fear of an invasion of nasty students in Summit is overblown.  If they  
are smart, landlords with parking-deprived apartments will upgrade  
their apartments and their tenants.  Summit is very popular among  
those ideal DINK couples with 2 cars.  They, however, can afford to  
pass on any apartment that does not come with 2 off-street spaces.  In  
this neighborhood, the present law is what forces landlords to rent  
certain apartments to a less choosy type of tenant.  Once there is on- 
street parking, parking-deprived apartments will not be significantly  
less attractive to yuppie renters.  When you can rent to them, you do  
not have to rent to students.
