The policy in every major city is to treat free overnight car storage on both sides of every road as the default

That is not the policy in a large chunk of Manhattan. It was not the policy on major (more than two-lane) or downtown roads in Dallas (and its two independent enclaves prohibited overnight street parking entirely). It's not the policy on the vast majority of streets in Miami or the surrounding cities.

It overrides the "every major city". I don't understand why some people here are hell-bent on exaggerating or misrepresenting the situation.

No, but this anecdote of one is infinitely more data points than the original claim.
