I think there would be some merit in adopting the system used in large Japanese cities where you need you need to get a parking place certificate from the local police in order to register a car or change address.
Essentially, no parking place, no car.0 -
Put a Vicar on Call sign in your windscreen and keep parking there.0

Maybe look at JustPark. or knock up a few fliers....there maybe homes that have space on their drive where you pay far less than a car park, just a thought.0

If you can't find anywhere to park that you can afford, you can't keep the car. Would a bike be an option instead (either motor or push, depending on preference/storage options), and you can rent a car by the hour/day when you need one - or use cabs.0

I also got broken into once
And every car parked down my own side street had its wings mirrors kicked in, even though I had a permit
If I had to park away from in front of my house eventually someone would key the body.Once I had both wing mirrors ripped off.
The OP could buy a cheap £25 folding bike which would easily fit in a hatchback type car and park in a more upmarket road and cycle home much quicker leaving the car in relatively safety0 -
The OP could offer to sell their soul in exchange for a parking space.0
