This. This. This. One of our neighbors only has two parking slots and they park their two other cars outside. When they have a guest, their guest sometimes parks in front of our house. We already complained before and they fired back that we have more cars. That wasn't the point because all our cars are parked inside the house. We never ever park a single car outside our house. I really hope they implement that law which will prevent those without parking to buy cars. They do this in Japan and the police personally visit your place to see if you have a parking slot for the new car you wish to purchase. Then again, people may just buy cars from other people to circumvent this.
