Yeah, as someone who lives in a neighborhood that's currently being threatened with infill redevelopment it's not uplifting news. The neighborhood was not designed with car-free or high-density living in mind, public transit access is poor and shops are not nearby. So if a house gets replaced with an eight-family dwelling without garage space that means eight cars parking on the street. There's simply not enough street available for everyone to do that.
I'm all for low-income housing and less reliance on cars, but it's important to account for the full context of the situation instead of ramming through partial solutions that only make things worse. That way you turn people against stuff. In my city I've seen half-assed initiatives for bike lanes and reducing single-use plastic that ended up intensely unpopular and I suspect harmed those things more in the long run.
