If people are parking on the grass, there is insufficient parking space.

Umm, yes.

Have you been in many towns in the last - oooh - few decades?

What's actually happening is that people are insisting on parking on
both sides of the road. To leave room for traffic, they park on the
pavement. If they all parked the same side, there'd be room, both for
the traffic and the parked cars. Of course, some people would have to
walk all the way across the road to their front door.

Having everyone park on just one side of the road is a good scheme,
indeed if the road is narrow it's the only possible way.

How would yuo decide who is allowed to park and on what side.
Thre;s two sides to my road as there are houses opposite mine cars park outside each house, so with your method one sdie of the houses would have no parking space at all, not sure how that would work.
Only people that live in odd number houses are allowed to park outside their homes so where do the others park or arent; they allowed cars.

On wider roads however it means there's only room for half as many cars
(compared to using both sides).

Since the basic problem is that there are lots & lots of cars...
