That's my fantasy too. And I understand it's roughly the situation in Japan, where urban streets generally do not have parked cars (or sidewalks, alas). It's because cars are understood to be just another form of private property, to be stored privately. After all, even in the West you don't just leave your property in a public place, for some reasons it's only cars. A mind-blowing framing of the problem.
