Not really. Near me that added meters so you pay for parking in front of the commercial areas. So people just drive up the block and park in the resedential areas which have no meters.
Paying for parking only works in places where you park temporarily and then move elsewhere, you can't exactly add meters in front of people's homes, unless, I suppose every house had off street parking?
I guess that's one way to have a city. Something similar is done by making overnight street parking illegal - I've seen that a lot, and then yes, the free market will make sure every house has its own parking area.
It's hard on visitors though.
Parking minimums are actually the least bad option from all of those.
