Downtown flats and apartments around here generally don't have any streets that allow overnight parking, and do generally have their own dedicated parking, but that probably varies with location.

Once people started building with cars in mind here, they were building single family detached houses. Most apartments, duplexes, 4-plexes, etc. were built in the era of streetcars.

We do have some multifamily from the postwar era, but it tends to be either very luxe (contemporary gentrification) or very crappy (from when cities were for poor people). The stately, comfortable, once-grand-but-now-middle-class stock is all pre-automobile.
