> the policy of providing free overnight car storage on both sides of every residential/commercial street You make it sound like there is some sort of federal policy covering every road in the US. Not only is there not, but your statement is far from the truth. There are many, many streets in the US where parking is restricted or paid

The policy in every major city is to treat free overnight car storage on both sides of every road as the default

  That is not the policy in a large chunk of Manhattan. It was not the policy on major (more than two-lane) or downtown roads in Dallas (and its two independent enclaves prohibited overnight street parking entirely). It's not the policy on the vast majority of streets in Miami or the surrounding cities.

    Anecdotes dont override the claim of “default” here.

      No, but this anecdote of one is infinitely more data points than the original claim.

      It overrides the "every major city". I don't understand why some people here are hell-bent on exaggerating or misrepresenting the situation.
