To do a reality check of a big large scale and expensive solution to a particular problem it often helps to observe existing solutions, and how they fair in city (or state) policy. For parking this solution is public transit, and in many cities in USA and Europe it fairs rather badly. Bus systems are often underfunded and cities quite often settle for a minimal viable system, a system so dismal that it only marginally reduces parking proliferation. A policy of underground parking—being infinitely more expensive—will realistically yield an even worse outcome than the public transit policies of most cities today.
