I mean, if a parking garage is the most-profitable use of the land, theoretically a parking garage will spring up. And people will pay extra for the privilege.

And, if being able to park their car at the apartment complex is worth it to people, then they'll probably pay for it at a different apartment complex that has parking.

It seems odd to mandate parking if parking isn't profitable. And the point when there isn't a lot of parking around, but there are a lot of people around, then that's the point when oftentimes people don't own a car.
