Unlimited street parking isn't without its issues, either.
If you live in central Montreal and store your car on the street, and you want to leave your car in town, you need someone to move it twice per week for you anyway, since the street cleaners clean the streets that often. Usually it's alternating sides of a street. The street cleaning closures don't operate in the winter, but then you have to move your car whenever there's snow. In that case you have to move the car to a street that's not currently being cleaned. Sometimes the towtruck will move your car for you and not give you a ticket.
