Parking is a whole other problem but in cities where everyone has to commute in/out of an area the bottleneck is more often the roads than lack of parking spots. (Parking can be built up/down while roads are built in 2d.) Underground parking structures (3d) also use space that is generally unusable otherwise. Few offices are permitted deep underground due to fire codes.

Not so, huge numbers of cars in NYC are just driving around looking for a park! If you raise the cost of parking fewer will drive, so the two are closely interconnected.

Because NY has chosen to not have spots, to build other things. There is plenty of physical space if every building dug out an underground car park during construction.
