I feel like this article cherry picked a one sided argument about 1 neighborhood and tried to apply it to a whole city... unsuccessfully at that. The whole premise is that 'people are angry and want more parking' without taking a poll; they're just interviewing individuals. Eventually they come out and state the facts:

"On-street parking also does not appear to be that difficult to find on Division Street, the epicenter of the apartment boom. Ample spaces were found during three recent visits to the neighborhood, on different days and at different times."


I don't dismiss this article because it's from Fox. I do dismiss it because it's a poorly one-sided opinion piece.

Furthermore, reducing the convenience of a resource definitively reduces the usage of that resource, as the costs involved increase. It applies to cars just like everything else, you can't change economics.
