Parking? Why? Remove it all, put more buildings. Cities don't need parking. You could easily remove all parking in SF. Between cycling, public transport and Uber, all your within SF transportation needs are met. For those times when you need a car to get out of town, the problem would quickly be solved by the half a dozen startups that will crop up to solve the problem of having access to a car when you need it (Doesn't Avis already have a way to have a rental car delivered to you when you need it?)
Once the no-parking model has been established in SF, other cities will have a model to copy and the startups that solved the problem can expand to those new markets.
On demand transportation companies are already starting to challenge the economics of car ownership for many people. It's only a matter of time until they challenge the economics of car ownership for just about everyone.
