Totally unreasonable in some areas but maybe less unreasonable in others. 
Montreal, where I live has invested heavily in accommodating a car free life
and it's paying off as people ditch the car or just never get one without any
net inconvenience as you have bike sharing, car sharing, amazing transit and
car rentals for those longer weekend trips.  And so a lot of buildings in some
parts of town are only providing parking for say 1/2 or 1/3 the population of
the building. It saves money, allowing for more affordable housing, win win
win. 

Not true for every city but something we see more and more possible in those
that have invested in providing for car-free options to get around
