Basically they've committed to have parking meters for the next 75 years - want to install bike racks, bus/bike lanes, ban parking in busy streets at rush hour, widen pavements for restaurant tables, close a road for a party, it all requires compensation to CPM. If in 2070 Chicago citizens are using hover cars or being dropped off by their Teslas which then drive home, the parking meters will still be there.

If this hastens us toward a car-less future, maybe it will turn out for the better. Probably won't do that though, probably will just fleece those already dependent on cars.

It will do the opposite. City officials will be more hesitant to close parking spaces. Even if it turns out that the revenue paid out to CPM is still lower than the added benefit the city receives.
