A developer would only build a parking-free building if there are people in the area who want to live without cars. Otherwise it would be a financial disaster for them.
As one developer told me -- that simply financially makes more sense for them to build an apartment instead of parking. Why should they solve other people's business?
At first I was outraged, but now I kinda see a long term benefits of that, even thought it's harder for me to own a car. Hopefully that'd lead to improvement of public transportation or invention of new ways to move.
People live like ants.
