I lived in a similar place and I somewhat miss it. It isn't just parking spaces, the neighborhood was designed with walking in mind. Many streets had shops at the bottom floor, and I could do all my errands on foot. My elderly grandparents still live there. In a small radius around their building is a grocery store, medical clinic and a bus stop. They could live independently for a long time after they lost the ability to drive.
