This looks just like Montreal in the historic district.

That said, I nominate Montreal.

Coming from Philadelphia, I don't find NYC to be THAT hard to park in. You have to take into account that a high percentage of households don't have cars. Plus, the citywide street cleanings 2-4 times per week cuts down on parking space "campers".

But those street cleaning times are a pain, and wildly erratic. Nothing like having to be there by 9:30 one day to move your car, 11:00 the next day...not standardized from street to street at all--and always to have to wait an hour for the "cleaning" to get done. Parking enforcement more than anything tends to camp Guess that's just the nature of the beast...

No parking spaces in NYC?

Richard Mason: New York City, Mr. Dundee. Home to seven million people.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: That's incredible. Imagine seven million people all wanting to live together. Yeah, New York must be the friendliest place on earth.

Thankfully, Montreal doesn't have impound lots for when your car gets towed - they just place it on a different street somewhere nearby!
