To amplify what Serge said about Washington, no distinction was made for the behind-the-house, 1-2 vehicle private space versus large public lots. So if you were to look at the WashDC map, you'd be misled into thinking there is parking everywhere! I rather like the suggestion of addressing it through capacity, public/private, and access. Scale-dependent display would help, as well.
