It's hard to think beyond the individualistic businesses oriented thinking. I see you, it's ok.

But I was thinking about public parking spaces.

maybe we just don't really need the parking spaces?

People that need parking spaces choose their representatives and attend city halls. May we need to do the same...

Parking regulations don't apply to public projects. Strong Towns well documents the problem with parking regulations as they are written and applied in practice. I highly recommend checking it out.
