This is the scenario

You drive your car to a street near airport. Park your car on the street.

Take the cab from that location to the airport, pay 10 bucks at most.

X days later you come back from your trip and take a cab from the airport to that street

Pay 10 bucks at the most to the cab, driev your car to home.

So which street(s) can this be?

Greenspoint and Aldine are the area near the airport. Not leaving my car there. You pay for parking for safe storage and a shuttle bus to your terminal.

You forgot to add in the parking ticket cost for parking for longer than 24 hours in the same spot.

Or worse - the headache of finding out where your car was towed to.

So are you asking or telling?

For all the reasons everyone has listed above (and more), this is a non-winner.

Park your can on the street in a neighborhood and your gone for 4 days your car will be towed then it will cost $400 to $600 get it out of the impound lot. 2 Cheapest ways ride the bus both ways or have someone take you and pick you up

Pretty complicated to save a few bucks. Not to mention the time wasted for taxi to come pick you up. Not a winner to me, much less the safety and legal issues you may face as others have mentioned.

Your theory is terribly flawed. As others have noted it may be towed. However, more likely it will have been stolen within a few days.
