Actually, I would like to see that outcome, but I believe it should be arrived at via market forces rather than the government mandates. The only situation in which government might induce the development of less parking would be with GPLETs, zoning variances, and other concessions or subsidies. If a developer wants something from the city, maybe the city should ask for something in return. Traditionally, that has taken the form of asking for a certain fraction of the project to be set aside for affordable housing, but unbundled parking is also a way to make housing cost less.
