The high cars have the other downside of minimizing visibility around intersections when parked at corners. Pedestrians can't see cars coming and the cars can't see pedestrians coming. Usually the cars also can't see bikes coming down the road either.

    Usually not like right on the corner, parking aside if there is more than one lane a truck in to your left can easily block sight lines when trying to take a right turn or trying to pull out of a parking space.

    it is a responsibility of localities. some places do have rules against it, but it isnt universal for example, NYC: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2015/02/27/the-new-york-city-parking-rule-that-makes-intersections-more-dangerous/ https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2015/02/27/the-new-york-city-par... https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/parking-regulations.shtml https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/parking-regulati... see "t-intersections"
