…but surely this is something most of us hate to see. I walk on this street near where I work a couple times per day. Granted, the sidewalk isn’t much to speak of, but cars park like this all the time. Sometimes people park utility trailers or campers covering the entire sidewalk. If I see someone doing it I will let them know they should leave at least enough room so someone in a wheelchair wouldn’t have to go out in the road, and this has been fairly effective, but for most this seems to be acceptable behavior around here.
The thought crosses my mind, but I wouldn’t do that. What I do always try to make a point to do is walk on the sidewalk side, even if it’s really tight so that hopefully they will notice someone is uncomfortably close to their precious car/trailer/camper. Hopefully they will think it’s going to get scratched and leave more room next time.
