You start with a false premise. If SF mandated parking, those homes would never have been allowed to be subdivided. That house would be home to one family instead of 12-15 tenants. If you don't that that would have an effect on rents in town, you're sadly mistaken. 

You seem to see those tenants as victims, but they were fully aware of the situation. If they require a car, they're more than capable of finding a rental with parking, or paying to store their personal property (their car) somewhere.

It's much easier to just declare that you like your subsidized parking and want to keep it. I'm sure most agree, though, like you, they feel the need to tell stories about the disabled or the poor to try to gain sympathy for their cause.
