This view weighs comfort of pedestrians against space for emergency vehicles and just takes it as granted that cars will and thus must be allowed to park there. It only asks "who do we discomfort with these cars" and not "can we stop discomforting people with all these cars".
How about: no parking where there isn't enough room for emergency vehicles left and leave the sidewalk to the fucking pedestrians that deserve not just a 1,5m tunnel of steel and concrete but a sidewalk that is comfortable to use.
Car owners shouldn't be allowed to discomfort every pedestrian just because of their comfort of parking right in front of their house.
In principle, I agree with you. And do you know why hardly any city government can put this rigorous approach into practice? Because they will be voted out in the next election. Because car ownership is still high. Realpolitik applies here.
