No, it's not limited to Phoenix, but some other cities are making remarkable strides in eliminating mandatory parking requirements:

"The policy eliminates off-street minimum parking requirements, making Minneapolis the fourth city to make such a move. (San Francisco pulled the trigger earlier in December, while both Buffalo in New York and Hartford in Connecticut did so in 2017.)"

Of course, what developers and their investors perceive in terms of needed parking is their decision to make, but Phoenix should follow the model of other cities in re-examining outdated 20th Century parking requirements.
