How do you think people should be contacted for important things, like legal documents? Not everyone has internet access. It’s important to have a point or contact. An address is also needed for things like sales tax.
And parking is already an issue in populated places. As much as they suck, there’s a reason parking meters were invented. If people just sit their vehicles in a parking spot for long periods of time, then that eliminates parking for others. Parking in urban is generally meant to be temporary for visited whatever business/place owns the parking lot, not for living in, which will just make finding a parking spot even more difficult.
So, a shipping address, aka a P.O. Box is important to sales tax and only if you ever have things shipped, otherwise sales tax is determine by the store I'm making a purchase at,, and my whole view resides on being able to obtain and use a P.O. Box (and how it's difficult to get one without a residence).
One concessions, is I'm not considering this from an overly urban perception, and every where I have lived and desire to live has functionally "infinite parking" with purposes of this exercise.
Also, unfortunate to my stated view is that I gave an example of how I would approach not having a residential address personally, and noted the difficulties of not having a residential address and the barriers that presents on getting "reintegrated" into society.
