Off-street parking is worse than on-street as it requires crossing cycle lanes and sidewalks, usually without traffic controls, so increases the interactions between other road users and cars
On-street parking can be very dangerous for bicyclerider (doorings accidents), the people getting out of their car on the street and for people wanting to cross the road, as they can’t be seen well between parked cars - espacially children. And it takes space away that could be used for real bike lanes and wide enough side walks.
If people want to own a car, they should park it on their property. If they don’t have space for it, they shouldn’t (have to) own a car.
Charging the residents to park on the side doesn’t work well, it is often way to cheap, compared to the luxury car owners get.
No parking altogether discourages car ownership. Unfair to the people who live there to change it aspirationally, but if you provide other transportation options that are better than driving, then you don’t need it.
