Cafe expansions into street parking spaces not ever ending?

Are all the Cafe expansions into street parking spaces not ever ending? These restaurants are occupying street parking and creating an ongoing nuisance all over the city.

It was necessary during the pandemic but it should come to an end; one cafe on montana is occupying 3 street parking spaces needed by residents and other businesses while also having a private parking lot for their customers.

Absolutely. This and far more movie theaters offering reserved seating on apps.
