Exactly, I‘m German and it happens here a lot. My street is particularly bad because there’s not enough street parking - which would be a good thing if they actually punished people parking on the sidewalk.
Yeah I think this is the reason. There is so much parking and road space available in the US that there’s almost never any incentive to park on the sidewalk.

I’ve probably never been there, but I bet there’s enough, or even more then enough, street parking. But it’s way too many cars.
There would be if every vehicle wasn’t a small tank, and cities so poorly designed that everyone always drives everywhere.
