I upvoted you but I literally wanted to reply with "THIS!" because it's such an important point. There is no direct dollar cost to municipalities to doing many of these and many of them would actually save cities money (though I think the direct dollar savings are on the margins). Some of the externalities will have costs, many qualitative and/or subjective (how dare you take away my constitutional right to street parking!), but generally speaking if you went through the list and tried to quantify the externalized costs one by one you'd end up with massive dollar savings, or maybe better put many of the major external costs of enacting these would be voluntarily shouldered by the residents/businesses vs. the municipalities.
