This is especially ######y when the house in question has a garage that they don't use for cars because it's someone's workshop or man cave.
I'd be in favour of limits on how many vehicles can be registered to an address. If you feel you need a work truck, a family van, a pick-up, and a car for the son, and your property is only big enough for two of them, then maybe you should rent a garage somewhere.
And don't even get me started on running businesses out of home garages. It's called a 'residential' neighbourhood for a reason.

The way to do it would be to require permit parking and only issue X number of permits per home.
I doubt it would be possible to have something effective implemented and likely it any attempt would be unreasonable. The problem is that common sense and respect for your neighbours doesn't prevail.
I live on street with decent street parking available. But you have some idiots who create problems. Such as people who park in such ways that they take up multiple parking spots with one vehicle.
THen its the odd rental house that creates problems. If you have for example a couple with a young kid and two cars, its no problem and they don't cause issues.
Then you get renters where its two buddies renting, then their girlfriends spend most nights there. So you've got four cars plus a work truck or two if your lucky lol. And often these are the people who show little respect. They will not park using spots efficiently. Meh, I could go on but no point getting stressed over this. Just go slash some tires or bust out some windows.
