Providing parking is expensive - perhaps developers will create units that are more affordable if they are not required to spend the extra money to provide parking.

Parking is hardly the driver of unaffordable housing. Requiring “affordable housing” as a condition of building “market housing” is what makes housing expensive — the market units have to be priced very high to cover the loss from the below market units. It’s essentially rent control on new construction.
