Most apartment complexes have parking space for 1.3 to 1.5 cars per household. But many households these days have days have two cars, so parking difficulties are an inevitable problem. People often double park as a solution to this problem. But this leads to problems of its own. There is a risk of damaging another car's bumper when pushing a double-parked car to make room. Double-parked cars can't be moved if they aren't left in neutral. This makes it necessary to call up the car owner. In addition, cars these days are wider than they were in the past. Even if you take special care to park right in the middle of the parking space, the gap between cars is narrow. This means you might become the victim of door dings, or even cause them yourself without meaning to.
