Parking in college neighborhoods could come with an unexpected cost Out-of-state students attending universities in the District could soon be forced to become D.C. residents and spend hundreds of dollars to register their cars in the city if they want to be able to park on residential streets near their schools.

At-large D.C. Councilman Michael Brown introduced a bill Tuesday that would deny those students access to temporary resident parking permits, saying that District residents living near universities consistently complain about the lack of parking spaces.
