This is an interesting perspective, I hadn't thought of it this way before. And somehow you can still never get one of the free parking spaces. lol I much prefer the trains for getting around.
I 'm not sure what this translates to practically though. If the sides of the road weren't being used as parking and we could magically make all the buildings bigger to cover where the spaces used to be I feel like that wouldn't change much. I would think the best quality of life change would be removing a lot of the parking and making the streets more pedestrian friendly. The outdoor covid seating structures for restaurants are kinda a first idea of what someone might do but I could see people getting more creative with the street space if it was turned person friendly instead of car centered. If you go to the bougie "dumbo" area in Brooklyn they do have maybe 1 or 2 streets like that and it's somewhat cute (but it's flaws would take a whole other post).
But then I get lost trying to tie it back to land price. The majority of people have to rent still whether the parking spaces are there or not. Rent prices change for apartments of the same size all the time just because the landlord wants more money, or when the neighborhood gets gentrified, etc. so it doesn't seem based on land price itself or at least not how it ties in to scarcity.... Maybe I'm just lacking context because this is only one tweet.
