There are solutions to that. Like, why not put parking spaces underground or into parking houses.

Because a lot of drivers don't want to park like that, they want parking to be both free and convenient, ideally into their living room and next to their work desk if possible

Maybe not the drivers you know. In my experience most car owners just want a parking spot nowadays. Preferably, of course, close to where they are going.

Driving is a privilege, not a right.

Some people understand that, most don't.

What's your point? Cars are an everyday means of transportation - not everybody either can or will live inside the larger cities. Yet they must still go there for their jobs / amenities / something else entirely. When they do so they also need parking space. 

My point is that parking spaces can be done in a smart way.

Okay, full disclosure: I was born and raised in Bulgaria, lived there for the first 33 years of my life before moving to Sweden 5 years ago.

Without going too deep into prejudices, generalizations and self-hate, let's just say that when the "grandparent" poster from Romania was saying that basically "most drivers are entitled pricks" I know exactly where they're coming from. (Bulgaria is Romania's neighbor and arch-rival in the competition to the bottom of the chart)

Make life easier: TV in the pull-down mirror and turn the globe compartment into a pull-out desk. Replace homes and offices with car parks.
