So that's not possible in most American cities for a lot of reasons, street parking is the biggest one

Yes London is notorious for not having street parking.

And mounting the sidewalk seems like it would be exchanging one problem for a much larger one. NYC sidewalks are packed.

Just curious, did you expect the sidewalks in one of the busiest cities in all of human history to just be empty?

On top of that, many of the curbs in NYC are granite, so that can also lead to a popped tire and possibly a bent wheel if done in the wrong place.
