I despise it, ESPECIALLY in residential areas.
Couldn't you make same argument for cycling infrastructure? Why should people who drive subsidize it?
If you didn't have room for parking on residential streets, how would you get deliveries of anything? It's a rare thing to see a driveway or garage on the front of someone's house.
And you have to remember, where I live and in most places in the cities, it's a mix of residential and businesses, though businesses tend to be on the corners. To not allow parking on the streets would mean no parking for businesses.
