[Highland Park] Parking on Farragut near Stanton

I've lived.on Farragut near Stanton for three years and in the last six months i feel like i moved to Oakland.....the parking is so bad that if you aren't home by 6:00 pm you aren't finding a spot....not even the illegal spots. I M growing really tired of coming home late at night from 12-16 hour shifts to have to park blocks away from home. Has anyone else noticed this, or have any suggestions? I hate to complain, I realize we live in the city and its free for all, but thks has exceeded unacceptable in my opinion. Thanks Jackie Merranko
