Street parkers are well aware that their cars are more exposed to harm than if they were placed in a garage, which is why I'm sure most people would want to have one if they could. Not everyone gets to live in a vast plot of land though, especially in the metro.
As to having an actual law that prohibits street parking in residential areas? Haha, good luck with that. Even the most exclusive subdivisions in our country are filled with cars parked on the streets.
