Ideally, limitations on new parking would be matched with new investments in public transit, but that's always a tough slog too. But yeah, we're still living with the hangover from the days of rapid growth in the suburbs and urban planners were willing to sacrifice the city center as a warehouse for the poor and and a place that suburbanites would commute to by car. Now of course, more people want to get away from car dependency and the city center is desirable again (displacing the poor to areas without either work or transit). So it would seem to make sense to use less space for cars and convert that space to uses that allow people to more easily get along without them.
