[quote=Anonymous]When I swam in the NVSL in the 80's the parental spectating was much lower.  There were actually very few parents who were sitting around watching their kids swim if they weren't volunteering.  My mom would drop me off to get a ride with other people if she wasn't volunteering at the meet.  It was really unusual that one swimmer would have 2 parents watching them.  
Now, two parents watching is the norm.  This, plus the growth by 1/3 makes it a much bigger meet to host.
The other aspect is how built up the area has become.  So many small houses on big lots have become two houses.  That small house on a big lot usually had off street parking for all the cars they owned, so street parking was open for others.  Now, frequently big houses have only one off street parking spot, and 1-2 additional cars they are looking for on street parking for.
This means that when something happens like a big meet that takes up a ton of street parking, the neighborhood is more resistant and gets more upset.
