Default Street Parking (rant)

Why do people insist on parking on the street? It does nothing but clutter the roads. I am in McKenzie Towne and the bylaw states that home owners are to have 2 parking spots at the back. Yet if you walk through the alley at least half of the spots behind the houses are empty and they have their cars out front. Or better yet I've seen some people put a garage out back and still park out front. There are several residential roads in my area that two cars can not drive through simultaneously because of cars parked on both sides. So it becomes a tedious process to get down some of the roads because I'll have to pull over to the curb, if there is nobody parked there, or very close to a parked car, so someone else can squeeze through, and then it's my turn. Anyone else having this problem in their neighborhood?

Edit: It also makes it difficult when you get to an intersection because generally you can't see if cars are coming.
