So are you suggesting that everyone should be entitled to drive a car (space inefficient) into a city where space is in high demand, and then park for a cost that doesn't discourage them from parking a car? That really doesn't make any sense. If you keep the costs low, it's like bread lines in Russia. Everyone can afford it, but there's none to give out. So you'd rather the price be low, but unable to get a spot? Add to that the traffic problems mentioned in the video. The best solution is probably to increase the cost of parking and one by one remove parking from the city as they've been doing it in Copenhagen.
