Likewise here, just laziness. There is a busy regular bus route
along
the road, at the end of my street. A good half mile of that is
occupied by large detached and semi- detached houses, these share a
long access road at the rear and a have large-ish rear gardens with
garages and parking built on them. Do they use the rear to park,
not
likely...

They park out front, usually in a continuous row of near 1/2 mile
of
parked vehicles, causing absolute chaos for traffic. Cars usually
manage to somehow get through, but buses really struggle. I have
even
regularly seen them incredibly park on both sides of the road,
making
it a real struggle for buses, sometimes impossible.


But do the planners try to accept that people like to park out
front?
No!


Put restrictions in place and enforce.

Not feasible. Visitors wouldn't be able to park.

A couple of citations might
make them think about parking round back

One side restrictions work well everywhere else in the world. Lots
of places both sides no parking. Here there is no overnight street
parking and no parking during school hours on either side. Zoning laws
equire 1 parking space behind the building line. (can be garage or
carport or open parking) and at least one spot in front. Before that
zoning came in effect some were too close to the street to park a car
on the property in the front - but back then most had "back alley"
access. No house newer than about 60 years has no on-site parking.

Parking tickets pretty quickly get more expensive than renting a spot
somewhere.

I would never buy a house where Hitler ran the streets.


He stopped running them before you were even spawned.


Claire appears to have one of his descendants running her council.


They don't have councils there. And it's a he, not a she.

Do you still have your own free will?


Yep, he can kill himself anytime he likes.


That's not complete free will. Nobody should be told what to do in their
own street.


Can be a problem when they want to murder the neighbours.
