I'm curious, is there data to show if parking demand is dropping with Uber making congestion worse? I mean in my head it makes sense that more people driving would lead to less parking but I don't know if that's true or not.

While congestion is not optimal I wonder if parking drops if space can be reclaimed to make other improvements.

A lot of people use uber because parking is horrible at their destination and public transit doesn't work. If uber doesn't exist then they would of drove. How many cars is that one uber car replacing in that case?

I think there's a lot of interest from cities in reclaiming parking, but it would be giving more space for pedestrians and cyclists. The amount of space for cars would remain the same.
