Ofc all the buildings pictured were built before that was the case and before there was a protected bike lane. What you mentioned is all good policy but mostly focused on building from scratch.
How would an existing streetscape be handled? Would existing driveways actually be seized by eminant domain?
Somerville does not have parking minimums.

Establishing maximum parking spots per occupancy does seem like a good idea (say 1 car parking spot for every 4 people).
If the owner doesn’t block the parking spots (eg planting trees or building housing in their place), fining them would make sense.
