You're obviously not referring to NYC.

Why not? That's the case in the centres of many European cities.

NYC is different. Most parking is street parking, or a paid garage parking, which can be expensive.

That's a decision the city has made, and the current state of much street-space in NYC.

Copenhagen has made the opposite decision: space in the city centre is allocated to bicycle lanes and footpaths on many streets. I live on such a street. If I bought a car, I'd need to rent a parking space.

London has an intermediate approach: resident parking on the street requires an expensive permit.
