	Unless and until at some point we go to City Hall and buy some 
guest permits, yes.

	Yes. I believe it's $.25/hour, or /2hrs. You can keep paying to 
keep staying there, and the enforcement period ends at 9PM. Aid will be 
available along the lines of helping you remember when it's been two 
hours, if anyone chooses to park in the pay sections.

	The only place you can park for free is the green area. :-> The 
street behind my house (with the school) has always been free; I only 
found out about the adjacent side of Ashland being so a few weeks ago, 
though it apparently always has been.

> Is there any change in how available spaces are in the green area?

	I'm not sure; we've been trying to avoid the question as much as 
possible. Needless to say, the pay-and-display zones are changing the 
dynamic a bit. The permit zones have always been there, so no change on 
that score.
