With the exception of inside major cities, especially the old ones on the East coast which predate the mass adoption of cars. I had to travel to Philadelphia a few weeks ago for something and fuckin’ hell. I may as well have been in Bengaluru. Apparently we park anywhere, ignore all traffic signals and directives, and driving on the correct side of the street is completely optional now. I would not attempt to walk any distance there without being equipped with one of those bubble balls like Jackie Chan had in Operation Condor and preferably also a large firearm. Or possibly a bazooka.
I am telling you for 100% fact: People absolutely park like assholes (including on sidewalks and bike lanes) throughout the US from BFE to Atlanta to Wheeling to D.C. to Jupiter New York City to Vegas. I have lived there my entire life and visited numerous places throughout the country.
There might be some places where it gets policed better but that doesn’t stop people everywhere. I just yelled at a guy for parking his truck on the sidewalk last week and I live in a small city.

major cities are an anomaly and should not be counted
