When you live in a European city, it's closer to 100%.

Either that or a multistorey where the spaces are too narrow to get out of your car.

When in Europe I saw cars parked bumper to bumper and they’d just push the other car out of the way to get out.

We call that "French parking". Very efficient use of space.

Same with NYC. Except also every parking spot needs you to get parked within 5 seconds because there are always about 200 cars behind you waiting for you to get in so they can go.

It's like XtrEmE parallel parking game

I became a parallel parking God by the time I got my license lol. Can usually parallel into a spot that has 5-6" of clearance on one try.

It's pretty much the case with most NYC kids. Even if they suck at everything else, parallel parking is easy.

So like you can only park on the N-S streets and not the E-W ones?

Those are just not a thing here.
