> No? They park them outside the city centre. If you live in an apartment complex inside the city centre, parking outside of it won't help you. If you live in an apartment complex outside of it and there's not enough parking spots to leave your car while you sleep you still have the same problem. > Or they rent them. Most people can't afford to uber everywhere. Should the poors not be allowed to go to work or the doctors office? Austin is only one example, but any city without enough parking to meet demand has these same well-documented problems. Please tell me which cities in America have ditched off-street parking while doing nothing else to reduce people's dependence on cars and had no problems as a result.

> live in an apartment complex inside the city centre, parking outside of it won't help you Of course it does. You use city transportation systems when in the centre. And you take an Uber or train to your parking lot when you need to drive a bunch. > Should the poors not be allowed to go to work or the doctors office? Versus not being able to afford housing? That's the tradeoff. There is no free lunch. Increasing space dedicated to parking raises the cost of housing. It also reduces density, thereby reducing wealth and increasing transit times.
