I wish I had the photos to show you, but at the end of our street they allowed just two infills on a 50 ft lot, and the parking changed the moment they started building, and has continued long after the infills were completed. It has negatively changed the entrance to our street. You now have to be much more careful when passing other cars.

To me, this is a feature, not a bug of parked cars. People drive slower.
