We already have downtown density.

The reason they require parking for new developements is so the city doesn't have to provide it. You are dreaming if you think people are going to give up their cars for the privilage of living downtown. That market is minimal at best. If their was a market for places without parking the developers would have latched on to it years ago. It would be much cheaper and much more profitable to build without providing parking, the problem is it won't sell and they know it.
