Everyone is completely ridiculous and delusional if they are to believe that parking in San Francisco is easy and that people parking on the sidewalk are just rude and inconsiderate. I agree that it can be a safety hazard, but where the heck are we supposed to leave our cars if there are more cars in every neighborhood than there are legal parking spaces? Complainers either don't have cars or only have 1 car in their household that they can easily stow away in the garage. Otherwise, they would find themselves in the same predicatment and would do the same thing themselves when parking spaces seem nearly impossible to come by. Both sides of the issue need to be looked at. I feel it's more inconsiderate to take pictures of cars parked on the sidewalk and put them in a hall of shame than to maybe think about why someone might do that. We're not all just doing it to be lazy and rude.
I think you have a point. Many comments on this site smack of racism - on my block (Santa Ynez, Mission Terrace) the paved over yards, now 3 car parking lots are all owned by immigrants families, Asian and Hispanic, often with multi generations living in a modest 1920 stucco home. The property line starts about 18' away from our houses. I was awakened at 1am a few months ago and a police woman ticketed me for blocking my neighbors driveway (about a foot over). I asked about their parking 3 cars in front of their house - she said it was legal as it was their property.
