rprospero addressed your first topic. I interpret the second along the lines of Shoup's "The High Cost of Free Parking". Someone pays for the free parking, even if it's hidden in higher property rates because the land for parking can't be used for other reasons. If the demand for street parking is so high, then its cost is too low.
Of course it's not as simple as putting in 24 hour parking meters. Residents should be able to buy a parking pass, but with caution - surely the 3rd parking pass for a one person household should be much closer to market rate than the first parking pass.
It may also mean adjustments in how the city works, which might include more bike lanes and mass transit.
There isn't a simple answer, but zoning law prohibit some alternatives.

Here's an example of how zoning parking requirements can be a problem: http://chi.streetsblog.org/2013/08/06/how-parking-requiremen... .
