Which are exactly the problems that in a perfect world where ALL cars have their own spot to be parked at near home (and near office, etc.) would not exist, and that can be solved EITHER by making adequate parking spots OR getting rid of the cars.

I presume that if every home owner signs an affidavit where he/she promises he/she would NOT ever buy or use a car near the house, the parking area requirements could be lowered.

As you might know in Japan they do something slightly different: http://www.reinventingparking.org/2014/06/japans-proof-of-pa...

The perfect world where every car has a parking spot without traffic, infrastructure, etc., CANNOT exist. We need to get rid of the cars.
