What do you mean no major reduction? You used to be able to park for free to pop into a shop to quickly grab something, now you have to pay high rates via an app and you are fined automatically via CCTV if you run out of time. That did not happen a few decades ago.

Or just go to a supermarket or shopping center where parking is free and easy

That is not the case where I live but the shops are not doing well.
