Parking Nightmare

I live in Etobicoke, which is in the west end of Toronto and I am in desperate need of a designated parking spot. Why the desperation? Allow me to elaborate...

My husband bought a new to-be-built stacked townhouse before we were acquainted with each other. Somehow, him purchasing a townhouse and us crossing paths, coincided. Hence, what was supposed to be a bachelor's den became new couple's love nest. "Our" new townhouse was accompanied by 1 underground parking spot. We immediately realized another spot would be required.

Once we moved in, we found other owners willing to rent spots that they were either not using or had secured to use in the future. So, our problem was solved. 2 years later, the gentleman we were renting the spare spot from decided to move to Hamilton and there suddenly emerged a parking problem. However, because the townhome community was experiencing so much turnover, another rental spot became available almost immediately and again, we found our parking problem quickly resolved.

Now, 6 years in, the community seems a bit more established. Toronto is experiencing quite a real estate upheaval with house pricing sky rocketing, thereby, making relocation difficult for a lot of residents. Two days ago, the family I rent my current spot from informed me that they needed the spot in a month and half as they are buying another car. And without warning, I am in the hole again. Though, this time, the solution won't be simple. No one moves in the middle of winter and I doubt there are any spots in the underground parking area available to rent. So, what am I to do??

1. I have an advert in Kijiji which really demonstrates my desperation.
2. I am begging the builder, who has rental buildings adjacent to us to rent me a spot. No luck there.
3. I am going to canvas the houses on the opposite side of my street to allow me to rent a spot on their driveway... I doubt I will have much luck there.
4. I am begging the City of Toronto to issue a parking permit to let me park on the street. Bureaucracy at its best!
5. My last resort is to move in with my parents in Markham till I find a spot, which won't bode well for my marriage.

The lengths to which I have to go just to park my car when I get home. It really shouldn't be this hard!
