It's "Aynesque belief" to recognize that removing the supply of parking spots will disincentivize people from driving into the city?
Well it's France.. when there's no parking spot sidewalks and bikelanes become parking spots..
How strange! Removing spots was supposed to solve people's problems. /s
Not only is it weird to argue against a price increase, then reframing the problem to something else, and then propose the market to solve that (which means more parking spaces or higher prices). But there is no market in the first place. How is it going to solve anything?
To be fair the market was so good at turning parking in to better land uses the US spent eighty years making it illegal to build... Anything, really, without oceans of parking.
Religious economic beliefs (some flavor of libertarianism).
