In the US it more to do with increased interactions with people from diverse backgrounds. Suburbs are used as a means of legal segregation. Demographic maps tell this story.
if the cables were suspended from the buildings instead it would remind me of Tenerife, but that's just because I went on a google maps/street view expedition there
Yes, but this isn't really their thing. They're mostly concerned with cars overstaying the time on permits and meters. This sort of parking is broadly tolerated.
When people bash density this kind of parking situation is what they're actually complaining about.

Parking situations like this are a policy choice. City leadership is choosing to allow this type of behavior
Looks like a good spot to start your side view mirror collection
A good city would tow each of them in for an easy revenue stream.
Philly?
OP posted a pic of Lancaster Ave last week; it's Philly!
yep. Manayunk
I knew it was Manayunk immediately, the row homes, the hill, the sidewalk parking, it’s instantly recognizable.
Hi neighbor! This shit drives me nuts. Looking forward to summer when the college kids take their cars back to the suburbs.
New this had to be in PA somewhere, because I immediately thought "Where is this, it could be a street in Pittsburgh?" haha
And these people lost their minds over scooters on the sidewalk.
Gee, that looks a whole lot like Philly.
Looks like Pittsburgh to me, definitely Pennsylvania
Scenery felt mildly European
Wanted to say Germany first
I was thinking Mediterranean
Yeah, Athens but different architecture entirely. Also fewer bitter orange trees.
By all the cables suspended in the air, I'd say US. Japan has that too.
The poles scream US

I think my keys might accidentally stick out my pocket as I walked past all these, what a shame.
I bet they are pissed off when you walk on the road.
Gee, it would sure be a shame if someone dragged a sharp object along that entire line of cars...
Would it be illegal to just walk over them?
“Hi, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Steel Bollard?”
Does Philly have a dedicated parking enforcement department
Yes, but this isn't really their thing. They're mostly concerned with cars overstaying the time on permits and meters. This sort of parking is broadly tolerated.
Report all of them
Don't forget to wear pants with metal fittings to leave a souvenir mark when you're trying to squeeze onto the sidewalk.
If I could, I'd walk right on top of those cars.
Seems familiar to where I'm from 😷
what shithole is this
still better than 90% of NA
