Outlawing parallel parking, no; free parking, yes. I don't see what the problem with parallel parking is. How is stopping mid-street to park any different that stopping mid-street to make a left hand turn? If nothing else, the existence of parallel parking and other street-side parking slows traffic down, and that's fine with me. Riding down a street with nose-in angle parking is actually a bit more nerve racking, IMHO.
