There is invariably someone right behind you that does not know you want to back in to a space. It would be so much easier except for the fact that it just doesn’t work very well. Why is that?!

I found the gif on the wikipedia page for parallel parking to be helpful – if you tried to front-in into a single spot, you would have to drive the front tires over the curb. As others said, rear wheel steering gives better maneuverability in tight places – this is why forklifts in wear houses are rear wheel steered. However, when you drive the car in reverse, it is not “dynamically stable” so to speak – if you let go of the wheel, if the car is not perfectly straight, it will start turning itself, while with normal front wheel steering, the car tends to straighten itself out.
