How long will it be before we lose our temper finding parking places?

Where i live it is now getting harder to find a parking place. It is mainly thanks to each house having at least two cars. When their offspring pass their driving test another car appears. Would be bearable if they park properly and not take up space for two cars. Father took a photo of me when i was 10 years old (35 years ago) standing by the road. All you could see was one car.

Won't be long before arguments flare up. I think each house should be limited to two cars. What do you think?
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Well if I was moving into somewhere the first thing I would look at is if I would feel happy with the parking there, bearing in mind there may be visitors etc. Preferably including my own long driveway - or better a big garage.

    I think if everyone stopped being lazy and parked in the next available spot and walked the extra ten feet, instead of finding the owner of a car parked in "their" space and complaining/leaving notes under wiper/letting the tyres down - the world would be a happier place and we'd all get along better.

    That or if they're so bothered about it move home to somewhere with nicer parking. Then if someone parked on their driveway or blocked it they'd have a genuine complaint.
