I bike a lot in San Diego, which has a decent amount of bike lanes. Not a ride goes by without me having to leave the bike lane to go around someone parked in the bike lane. A law is only effective if it is enforced.
You’re not wrong, but I wonder how many people are stopping to actually take a pic and notify the police so they can enforce the law. I’ve never seen it done in my area. I’m sure it happens, but any time I see a cyclist pull into traffic from a bike lane because some idiot’s parked illegally, they just go around and ride on. That’s part of the problem of enforcement too…

Being keyed every time they park in a bike lane might change their habbits.

wont that make things worst, since it will cause increased resentment and road rage against bikers.
Parking in a designated bike lane should be treated like the equivalent of mounting the curb and parking on a sidewalk.
All ages of people use bike-lanes just like all ages of people use sidewalks.
Forcing people onto a full lane of potential deadly traffic should not be taken so lightly.
