The tram tracks in Portland were installed way after the rest of the street was and maintaining street parking was a huge point of emphasis of the people when the tracks were installed. Those tram tracks are also a live traffic lane in most of the city, so not only is that person parked on the tracks, but they are also sticking out into a lane of traffic making people have to move over and potentially encroach on the other lane when driving.

That car is way more than 3 inches over the white line. Their entire rear tire and taillight is over the line. Every other car on the block was able to parallel park with like 6 inches to spare between themselves and the line. Space is at a premium in the urban core of major cities, so tight parking situations are too be expected. I've been in the area where this is a lot in Portland, and this is not even close to being the tightest parking in the city.

I think people don't realize that concrete gutter that is level with the street, not the sidewalk, there. That guy's tires left tires should be on concrete, not asphalt, if he was parked properly.
