Please show me where I've ever said anything like that.

Then shouldn't that suggest that there is something wrong with "the system?" As I've said before look at the parking in NYC. From some of what I've read in the past some people there pay almost as much rent to be able to park their car(s) as they do to "park" their arse.
And again, shouldn't it be the responsibility of the property owner and not "The State" to provide parking for their tenants/customers/clients? If that means that they need to build a "high rise" parking garage then so be it, or to build smaller buildings in order to allocate enough land to parking then again so be it.
But people shouldn't expect that "The State" is going to provide them with "free long term" parking.
