this seems to all but - in theory - eliminate street parking in a lot of areas.

Yes gents, that's right.
Here's a screenshot from Google Maps' satellite view of a random street in Hidden Valley, upon which I marked areas where one cannot park in red:
It's most of the street. Of the 50 or so properties in view there are only about a couple dozen on-street spaces, and obviously most of that is along the south side of Hidden Valley Ranch Crescent.
It's by design, frankly. Lots of people love suburban homes with attached garages and a driveway, and don't want people parking on the street. They think it makes the area look "cheap".
You should check out some of the 'burbs in the US with privately-owned roads and strong HOAs. Massively wide streets, no sidewalks, no parking. It's eerie.
