Most cities have had parking minimums for a while, so any new housing without parking is competing against existing housing with the imposed parking ratio. Meaning, if you are shopping around for housing, you can choose housing with more parking. Which means that to compete with it, housing with less parking will have to compete in other ways, like, say, lower prices. Which is more important than automobile storage in a lot of places with a housing shortage and the consequent skyrocketing prices.
