Hope you like parking on side street- oh right. Hope you like parking in parking lo- oh right. Well at least nothing stops you from walking a few blocks.

Arguably, if you can afford to go to a popular restaurant that's not in your neighbourhood, if you can't be bothered to park a few blocks away and walk, then you can afford an Uber. Probably means you can have a drink too, and not worry about drink-driving home.
I have no problem with main street car spots being removed so that restaurant patios can go in their place. Main Street, for example, has a much more lively, convivial feel now that so many eclectic patios have been established. Those old parking spots allowed *one* carload* (usually just 1 or maybe 2 people) to take up that same amount of space. It's just like knocking down SFHs to replace them with condos, in popular locations. Use that space better.
