This already happens where I live, but the buildings provide plenty of parking and most of it goes unused. The reason is because a spot in the garage is not free, I think it's like $50 or $100 a month. So people just park on the street and the garages are mostly vacant.
My city is now looking into paid street parking via permits, I'm sure if that gets adopted, people will start using the garages more and streets parking will become much more available. The way it works is that if you live in one of the neighborhoods that requires a permit for street parking, you can park anywhere as long as your permit is paid.
