You shouldn't because those regulations are what are keeping us with the freedom of choice to drive cars. Without mandated parking spaces in new construction, developers no longer constrained by the cost and time of having to plan and build parking would instead change those to livable units. The argument from the anti-car folks is that's a good thing because we need more inventory to deal with out of control housing costs in cities such as San Francisco and Seattle especially. And on its face it make sense, supply and demand, less urbanites want cars especially if it is too difficult and/or costly to park it. And with the cost of construction decreased by doing away with that the average price will go down right? And that's where the argument falls apart because if the market already demands an insane price for urban living, like 2300+ for a not even that big one bedroom, then the market will keep charging that regardless of parking requirements or not. Having a few extra units per building with no parking will not cause housing prices to fall in a meaningful way throughout a region unless there's also the collapse of a key part of the local economy and suddenly people no longer want to be in that city. It will not help with congestion for the same reasons but it will make commuting to work or just a night out cost a hell of a lot more.

The other thing the more sinister thing about the talk of removing these regulations is the fact that what it would really serve to do is move everyone except the ultra rich away from having the ability to own their own cars. Part of that is a new profit model for the auto industry, part of it is social engineering to better be able to control when and where people travel at any given time and limit our freedoms. It might seem a bit far fetched but I would bet damn near anything that is the dystopian future we're careening towards. And I'm not a libertarian but I do have a pretty strong belief in people being able to exercise their personal freedoms. And if a little bit of regulation when it comes to parking requirements helps protect our (larger) freedom to choose our modes of transportation, the ability to come and go on our own schedules and manage our own lives, to take a road trip at random because it's Saturday and it's beautiful out and not be charged by the minute for it, and to actually keep ownership of our cars for just a little bit longer, then I consider that a win for personal liberties. Because we still would have the choice.
