Couldn't read article - paywall - but parking costs might be paid for in other ways rather than charging for parking

Yes it should be free, for most cities that are not at a super high density and already very over utilized in terms of traffic capacity. Having free parking improves the quality of life for most residents, enabling them to use cars to get around quickly and conveniently. It’s faster than alternatives (unless you design streets to be purposely inefficient), works in all weather conditions, and lets you move kids and things around.

Parking also helps the local economy because people are more likely to visit businesses. Small business owners often lose customers if nearby parking goes away or isn’t sufficient, and anecdotally no business owner I know has said removing parking or adding costs has helped their business.

Sure, but if you read TFA this is talking about NYC, with a focus on Manhattan. Which is already super dense, with rich transit anvailability yet has mostly free curbside parking — taking up some of the most valuable real estate in the world for free storage of personal vehicles that probably 95% of the owners would experience no real hardships if they did without.
