That would require the enterprising person to be able to get past the NIMBYism to construct the parking garage

That's not quite the issue. Public parking garages have been proposed but getting them sited has been difficult. One reason is competition from developers of apartments, who want to use the space for residences. Rather a dilemma to resolve as both are needed. Not exactly a NIMBY matter in that case.

But NIMBY's LOVE parking. They're more upset about homeless cars than homeless people. Surely they wouldn't object!
