Of course, I agree with you. I owned a car for some years (don't anymore) and didn't have a parking spot on the grounds of my apartment building at the time, I always needed to find a parking space on a public street (usually didn't take long, I usually managed to park next to the block I live in).

Maybe, but one would think companies that build houses have a lobby too.
I don't get why laws like that are a thing at all. This is a near perfect example of something better sorted out by the free market instead of government regulation. Some people want a house or apartment with a parking spot, other people don't need it, so a free market system ought to cause both kinds of housing to be built as there is demand.
Yes, pretty sure this is EU law now. It occasionally comes up on the German-speaking Internet too. Some people seem to be very bothered by this.
I think OP might be looking for something like nomacs or Gwenview except for PDFs instead of images. I don't have the answer to the question, but I can see what OP is looking for.
Yes, the federated model might make it somewhat harder for governments to enforce these kinds of laws. Until those governments catch up. 🙁

Because they don't do proportional voting like you Germans or we Austrians do, most of their elections (and all federal ones) have one winning candidate in a state or congressional district.
And there is mostly not even a requirement for 50% of the vote, but the candidate with most votes wins. That creates the two party system.
The parties in the US are much broader than in our countries, it's very common for different members of the same party to vote against each other.
Doch, es kostet dich, dass du Daten hinterlässt, was deine politischen Ansichten sind.

It used to be that you could print out the Deutschlandticket. I don't live in Germany but have visited a few times since it started to be a thing; the first Deutschlandticket I ever had, I printed out and stored in my wallet. Abolishing that was a step backward.

When I was looking for an apartment, one apartment I was considering came with a parking space, and they explicitly told me that if I didn't need a parking space, I could rent it out to someone else. I probably would have done that if I had ended up moving there (which I didn't, for a different reason). Not sure if that is a thing in many places.
