This has a really easy fix: mandate a new reserved, dedicated parking space for every new residence. For single-family homes, this is basically a no-op because driveways exist.

I've seen something similar, but it was placard-based for the whole neighborhood. You needed a parking pass to be able to park, but there were no reserved spots (which I imagine would raise enforcement costs a lot).
