If streets are owned by the city, on-street parking is a subsidy by the city to car users. Speaking as someone who grew up in US cities, we've very much been trained to be blind to this subsidy. So, really, it's not financial pressure, so much as removing a subsidy.
This extends well beyond cities. The whole transport system would look very different without the enormous subsidies to roads.
