      Unfortunately car parking lots are just not good economics. Most customers don’t drive, so providing an opportunity for more businesses to set up shop, or making more space for people to live (in a housing crisis!) is an extremely good thing. It’s not just about making moolah for the developers, but also about providing the best outcome for all the humans who might use that space.

      Likewise, on-street parking in the inner city streets, or outer suburb main roads, is a poor use of space compared to bike paths and bus lanes. (Nobody is suggesting getting rid of the ability to park on the street in local residential streets in the suburbs.)
