I stumbled across this:

https://www.itdp.org/wp-content/uploads/201...U-Turn_ITDP.pdf

The relevant bit at the end is very telling:

"The case studies in this report highlight that expanding the supply
of free, cheap, or excessive parking—once viewed as necessary to economic
vitality and freedom of mobility—has been reassessed across Europe. Limiting
the provision of parking to levels that the roads can support and the air quality
norms can sustain is growing more common"

We need a national car club and then it would work far better.

Cars when not in use would be "docked", not parked.

There would be a need to "park" in a way where you are still holding the car, e.g. on a shopping trip where you visit several shops and keep items in the car, but at a time the car is not "used" you simply let someone else use it.

Parking, most of the time, is the storage of a car when it is not in use. Clearly not a great use of resources.

Car clubs don't work the way they are now. Too local, so how do you go on a long journey then "release" the car for general usage when you reach your destination?

Of course there may be a shortage of space at some places where you wish to leave the car and a shortage of available vehicles at others. I guess there would have to be some "valets" who move cars from areas where there is a high supply and low demand to those where there is a short supply and high demand.
