The question is, what kind of parking? A lot of the available parking is in structures that cost to park in, and involve some overhead getting in and out, such as getting through a gate, wandering around the structure for an available space, etc. Not conducive to being used by an Uber or cabbie to wait for a call to go pick someone up. Finding on-street parking is much more dicey.

The commuter and residential parking doesn't free up for Uber drivers if it's not being used by its primary customers.

Sure, so then the problem is parking, but it's the type and not the amount.
