> You're ignoring the environmental impact of parking.

Interesting - what impact? Driving around looking for a space? Parallel parking wouldn't seem to be a problem, unless you're not very good at it. :)

> Ubers by and large aren't aimlessly driving around

They drive to me, which by itself increases their driving for my trip by ~~~~~50% (I have no idea). I suppose in Manhattan, they are likely to be closer, but I'd guess that impact is more per time (stuck in traffic) than per mile.

That. Plus desensitisation, requiring more driving in general.

Congestion charge. (And a lot of the traffic is caused by private cars. Hired cars move.)
