Parking is *far.* ;)

Kling's argument makes sense if one were to consider parking to be a tragedy of the commons situation due to high costs of enforcing property rights. Enforcing property rights on parking lots does seem more costly than doing so for, say, restaurant or theater seating (it seems harder to tow a car than to get a person to move.)

But maybe it's not much more costly... especially if violators have to pay all the towing costs, and parking lot owners can call to have an offending car removed at any time. Kling doesn't present evidence to the contrary.
