Look out your window and imagine what we could do with all the street space that's dedicated to parking.

Biggest benefit is that most people will stop owning cars.

Yeah this is it. And we get to reuse the existing roads hopefully without having to build more. We can make better use of suburban sprawl.

Traffic is going to be the same or higher. Instead of parking the car nearby you, the car has to travel to/from a parking hub.

I really dislike cars, I know there are sometimes necessary, I hate car parking spots, but this "hey we can safe parking spots" argument doesn't really work imo.

Only if they aren’t taxis. Then it’s just a matter of moving onto the next fair. Course, using a taxi or Uber to avoid parking fees is already a well understood thing.
