The point of the article is that no matter what project your city tries to do, drivers will always feel that there isn't enough parking in the plan. Worse, if the city wants to build something that would remove parking, drivers will be up in arms constantly fighting against that. The crux is that parking makes cities feel emptier and hollow, which then drives away the very people that businesses depend on, and we start seeing what we've seen for a long time in downtown cores. Tons of parking - with nothing to do downtown.

I recommend the article, and this is a great video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUNXFHpUhu8
