Parking, whether on street or off-street doesn't relate to congestion pricing. Congestion pricing charges for the luxury of driving into one of the most densely populated and well-served areas of transit in the country.

Charging people to offset a negative externality they are entirely responsible for should not be conflated with penalization.

On street parking is taking up space that could have been use for transport or housing.
