I think people make that argument, but I wouldn't buy the argument. That same argument is used for why shouldn't more roads be toll roads because people say they pay taxes for roads. If you include the price of parking in taxes, then there's less incentive to not use that resource of a parking space. I do not own a car, so why should I be paying for the parking spaces of people who do own one?

Unbundling is a good thing but not popular (e.g. airlines separately charging for luggage instead of including luggage in the price of your ticket gets talked about a lot). DC should charge more for residential parking permits and parking so the resource is not taken advantage of.
