I'm having trouble seeing the problem here. :)

Y'know what's even better for the environment than electric cars? No cars! I realize that living in California without a car is going to be difficult, but if you can manage it, you shouldn't have to pay for other people's parking spaces.

That would be great if that was the result, but the more likely outcome is that the tenants own cars that are parked in neighboring blocks.

That's why we shouldn't have any free parking in the first place. Parking spots should always be paid; they are not a public good.

What if those neighboring blocks were built using the same laws and hence didn't have any parking either?

The thing is not everyone is able to manage it. By not providing for those people you ensure the parking problem becomes someone else's problem.

Which doesn't require that every single unit has parking.

> you ensure the parking problem becomes someone else's problem

It just becomes an attribute on the listing. This house has 3 bedrooms and parking. This house has 2 bedrooms and no parking.
