I have experience of this. Our street was used in the same way when we first moved here, didnt seem that much of an issue until my son was born, when it became a real irritant.
Council extended the zone, we are in S1 and its the best £80 spent each year! Never more than a few feet from my front door, visitors can park no problem etc.
Ok, thats the selfish view, but - what happened to those cars which parked for free in my street? Pretty obviously, they all just moved a bit further south, and the south grange/blackford avenue area has exactly the same issues marchmont/grange/sciennes used to get - indeed I think they may be thinking about extending the zone.
This is not really a commuter v homeowner issue, as they are both just trying to do whats best in their situation.
Until we get transport solutions to encourage car owners not to bring cars in, this will continue.
