Yeah, that's not how it works in reality though. The new multifamily homes that have gone up in the last few years replacing old unkempt houses in my neighborhood with an exemption to parking have made it impossible to park even with our neighborhood being a "restricted parking zone" that requires an annual pass to park. My lot is too small for a parking spot and I have one car, not out of choice, but necessity since even in a very progressive city, the transit is crap (partly due to the federal government killing the money we were planning on using to enhance it in retaliation for not checking immigration status on people arrested but released for not having actually committed any serious crime). So even though I pay $60/year to street park, I often still have to park several blocks from my home. And single family homes with off street parking are still by far more common. Unless the pubic transportation is funded enough to eliminate the absolute impossibility of living without a car, it does no good to just force said cars onto the street. "The market" you speak of is developers, not homeowners. New development will just not plan any homes with parking, because the few sales they may lose to no parking is far outweighed by doubling or more the number of hones they can build. People who buy the new homes and don't live in the neighborhood won't know how impossible it is to street park until after the homes are all built which could be a year or several after signing a contract.
