Seems more like a problem with the local streetscape devoting space to long term storage of vehicles.
One thing councils are competent at is issuing parking fines, if only the appropriate restrictions were in place.
My personal preference would be to see residential access roads transformed into communal green spaces with basic access paths for pedestrian/cycle/emergency/utility purposes.
The councils are very hit-and-miss for issuing fines.
I’ve copped $150 fines for overhanging 1 metre into a no-stopping zone for 15 seconds while picking up a passenger.
Yet, I report abandoned cars that have been there for months, and end up smashing the windows on them 6 months later. So far, window-smashing has proven to be the most effective by far.
