It’s a two-way bike lane, which means there’s only this one path on this side of the road for bike traffic in both directions. One lane is blocked completely by parked cars. Let me know if you need any more help analyzing the issue.
The problem exists there in the space, independent of whether you personally experience it as a problem. The system was designed a certain way, and it’s not functioning as intended. Most cyclists are probably fine to cycle around it, but there’s still a problem there, and it would be wise to address it.
It’s not just about how much space there is. Cycle lanes are important because having a clear delineation of what spaces are intended for what road users is a key part of how cycle lanes improve safety and efficiency in cities. As it stands, the cycle lane is not functioning as it should.
Potholes in roads aren’t a huge deal for most drivers — it’s usually possible to navigate around them without much effort, and even if you do hit them, it usually doesn’t cause any damage. We still strive to fill in potholes though, because we acknowledge that a road isn’t meant to have them, and that keeping roads in good repair is a crucial part of making the system work.
If you mean drive a vehicle, I don’t think that’s true. The remaining width of the lane that’s being encroached appears to be not much longer the length of that car’s tire.

I drive on more narrow paths every day. If you want to have problems, you find them. I live happier by not making up problems.
Ahh ignorance, the ultimate bliss
I too would be happier if I refused to see problems that exist in the real world. Ignorance is bliss.

I will take a chunk out of your bedroom and set up a hobo encampment.
You don’t like it? Why? You can still reach your bed? Stop making up problems.
Drive? Do you mean ride, as a bicycle?
