I think a city has a right to zone this way. Building parking means cars come. The city is encouraging different means of transportation by limiting the cars coming in. They’re not saying you, Joe Apartment Renter, can’t bring your car; just that you won’t have a spot to park in, and you’ll have to go on the hunt every night when you get home. So it’s basically discouraging folks who require a car from choosing to live here.
Of course, I agree with you. I owned a car for some years (don’t anymore) and didn’t have a parking spot on the grounds of my apartment building at the time, I always needed to find a parking space on a public street (usually didn’t take long, I usually managed to park next to the block I live in).
