Parking in Tel Aviv

People have been complaining for a long time about the parking situation in Tel Aviv. I knew there's a shortage of available parking but it sounded like people just enjoying the complaining. It couldn't be ad bad as they made it out to be. Whenever I needed parking in Tel aviv I always found an available spot relatively quickly, and if not there were always parking lots nearby.

Today I needed to find a spot early and there was literally no parking to be had. On side streets parking is limited to residential tags, and that was packed bumper to bumper, and on the main roads there was nothing available. I couldn't find parking lots on the area and it took a lot of driving around before I found a spot.

Now I see and understand what they complain about.
