With how heavily the US relies on car, why is there not a street officer or something, separate from police (who barely do their job)?

It’s called Parking Enforcement and New York City has more than any other jurisdiction.

But they still barely do their job?

They absolutely do their jobs very thoroughly - but only where it will have no repercussions for them. There probably isn’t even a shift assigned to this lot, thanks to some back room agreement with the cops.

It’s not as much a back room deal as it’s an understanding. If the parking attendant gets into an altercation with a member of the public, thay will need to call for the cops. It would be couter productive to book a cops car only to have to get that same cop to come and help later. Like clamping a fire truck only for your house to burn down.
The chef should be looking at getting rid of cops that can’t follow the basic licence place and parking laws.
