Overnight parking in San Francisco, for most people renting: ~$200 a month (last time I checked was closer to $250, so who knows what's up to now.)
Daily parking in San Francisco (if, say, you have to park at work): ~$20 a day, although you might get some tax benefits on this.
Annoyance of finding a parking spot anywhere in San Francisco at any of the times you might want to use the car to meet friends (lunch, dinner, weekends): very, very high. Annoyance of not being able to drink more than one drink: varies by person.
So, YMMV. If you live and work in a heavily car-based city (say Minneapolis) then using Lyft or Uber won't make much sense. If you live in a metropolis with decent public or company provided transportation for commuting, then it's cheaper to use Lyft for going out and getting the occasional ZipCar or Thrifty whenever you travel for the weekend.
