Where did you get the price figure for a parking space in Zürich?
It's CHF 300 per year in a blue zone where you have to find a spot whenever you feel like parking your car.
That number was from Immoscout24 listings of parking spaces for rent [0].
If you have vacant spaces in blue zones near you, that's a viable option. There are plenty of places where that's not the case though.

I pay 250 / month for a parking space in an underground garage. That's close to the upper limit from what I've seen. Usually, the prices start around 100-150 for a dedicated parking spot outside.
For comparison, an adult GA is CHF 3860/yr, so paying for a parking space in Zürich alone puts you 2/3rd of the way to the cost of public transportation, even disregarding costs like insurance, the car itself, registration, vignette, fuel, vehicle maintenance, tyres and parking costs away from home.
