And of course by shuffling them around, both have to be started and run for a short period of time, which is a needless use of fossil fuels.
No offense, but that's a pretty ridiculous argument. If you have 2 cars, and a 2 car garage...what difference does it make how narrow your driveway is? Is one garage bay not connected to the driveway or something? Even if that was the case, it's hard to make an 'environmental' argument for free public parking for your excess private vehicles. The real 'environmental' solution is to lose a car.

That said, I absolutely support overnight street-side parking, as it is entirely harmless.
