I finally searched for the term while writing about free parking and was slightly disappointed to find that an area of Santiago, Chile is already known as Sanhattan. Unless there has been an incredible amount of building since I visited that city in 1998 (loved it) I find it hard to justify the name.

Charge longer vehicles by linear curb feet they take up. This would give the parking jurisdiction an incentive to end wasteful squatting/underutilization of curb space -- for example when neighboring driveways *could* use a single car's width egress but use 2 or more widths instead. Reclaiming this curbspace for dynamic parking, rather than locking it up for a single driveway's use, could increase the stock of parking spaces in the Richmond and Sunset by 25% or more, I suspect.
