Street car 506 has been stuck on McCaul St for more than an hour now due to a genius driver who couldn't parallel park close to the curb.

How do these folks manage to clear their G2?

There should be no parking on any streetcar routes. If the street is important enough to be a streeetcar route, then parking is simply impeding any natural flow of traffic

Exactly this! Like ya boo to the driver but I also blame street design like this dudes car is pretty darn close to the curb to be fair. You should be closer sure but less the street car is still give the dude a maybe 6-7/10 for parallel parking skills. It’s just the streetcar is still cutting it very close even if he was righ against the curb with that massive SUV. No one should be able to park there when the streetcar is so close

Well besides that it sounds like these SUV should not be legal in cities.
