Crappy and dangerous subways. That is a big part of the problem. Vehicle sales to New Yorkers increased over the last two years. First it was because of the subways, plus the pandemic, and now the subways again. Owning a car in the city can be difficult depending where you live. Some people have to circle for over an hour to find a legal parking space in their own neighborhood. Even the idiot deBlasio reduced alternate side parking to one day per side to accommodate drivers (tax payers).
96 years ago? The ban was only in Manhattan anyway.

Overnight parking was legalized in Manhattan in the summer of 1950, when alternate-side-of-the-street parking (with prohibited hours of 7 A.M. to 3 P.M., every day but Sunday) became official on the Lower East Side, and soon spread to most of Manhattan.
I love being able to park directly in front of my house everyday.
I live on S.I. My house has a driveway, but plenty of on-street parking and no alternate side parking rules. So I have you beat! I get unsolicited inquiries from Brooklynites in the mail about selling my home. They all mention wanting a driveway. Nearly every home on SI has a driveway but homes in Bklyn, Queens and the Bronx with driveways are very valuable.
Given all the work from homers who is still on the road keeping it so busy?
When I'm stuck in some of these off hour traffic jams I get the sense a lot of ny'ers drive around aimlessly and not for work.
Likely cabs or Ubers. They make up like 90% of the traffic in Manhattan.
