Also, the occupants in the building would be forbidden to park their vehicles on neighborhood streets. They'd have to rent out a private garage from a nearby property or park in another neighborhood. For example, my apartment building rents out spaces to nearby residents. I'm in a 90 year old 8-unit building and only 1 of the 6 garage spaces are actually used by a building resident
One aspect of relying on street parking is the incentive to use public transit, once you get a good parking spot. I would leave the beast parked for a week at a time, partly because the L was faster, partly because I had a good spot and didn't want to loose it.
