And the usual answer is eliminating free on-street parking. Developers will build whatever parking is cost-effective to build. Residents will need a permit for on-street parking, while visitors pay hourly rates. The prices vary by area, and they are set to a level that ensures a high occupancy rate, while people with a permit can still find a space near their homes. What usually happens is that parking will be cheap enough to make dedicated parking structures commercially unviable. But even that cheap enough price will be too expensive for some people that they decide to get rid of their cars instead.
