If you had used a more meaningful term it would be helpful to others. I've assumed that it would be the more commonly encountered case that I described.
The only usage of the term "terraced" in the context of housing I have
ever heard is of the Victorian style of long rows of houses either side of a road (or my more modern one, for that matter, they still build them). You're not American are you, or some other odd regional variation? They call them row houses. The alternative you posit is hardly ever used, principally because they hardly ever occur in the UK. I don't even know what you'd call it, but because it's so rare you would probably use a sentence to describe it, e.g. "houses on terraces on the side of a hill".
Not sure what ships in the pacific has got to do with anything regarding obstruction of the highway or pavement parking, you do talk in riddles sometimes.
You've also never heard the figure of speech "that ship has sailed" to refer to a situation where something has already happened and going on about it potentially becoming a future problem is just pointless? It's one of the most common figures of speech in the UK.
Every user of the highway should a) not cause undue obstruction irrespective of their reason for using it and b) definitely not obstruct the footpath which is exclusively for pedestrians. Those that do should be dealth with whether they are amongst the list of pet hate delivery firms that you may have, or the resident who lives in the property nearest where they park. There is no right (implied or actual) to park anywhere particularly kerbside.
There's no right, no, but it's not illegal either. But you clearly aren't that familiar with this arrangement because "parking wars" are very much a thing, and if something is introduced where you need to be in a particular place in relation to your home to charge your car that will only get worse, thus that cannot be allowed and other alternatives need to be investigated, e.g. actually renting bits of the street to specific people.
I feel that a "tax" rate of 112% (and increasing) on an asset is as good as "forcing".
Forcing you to dispose of it, yes. But you can sell it, then someone else uses it.
And as the cancer of Pay Per Mile (faux ULEZ) schemes spreads across the UK, the asset becomes un-sellable.
These cars, particularly petrols (almost any petrol younger than 15 years complies), are increasingly old. By the time they get unsellable for that reason they'll be unsellable because they're falling to bits. It might even be that ULEZs stop being a thing, because almost all cars on the road by then comply anyway. Though I'd expect ZEZs to then spread, requiring EVs (or hydrogen for those who absolutely must) only.
