On the one hand the solution is a good one and can generate its own revenues in the form of fees to make up for the cost of administering this new policy. But on the other hand, selling off permits to others to make money? Now, I think you've gone off the deep end on that one. I can see abuse of this system by those who turn around and sell the use of their parking space to outsiders for profit. That is just simply unethical as the parcels we are discussing are public property. Then there is the Lanikai part of the equation which can really turn into a racket where those in the more affluent neighborhoods can charge up a high markup to tourists for the use of their permit. You really need to rethink your idea as it is simply not right and outright unethical.
