I favor both improved pubic transit and more parking. I use both. Most of the arguments against the proposal are speculative and tell me things like that if I favor the proposal I am against trees. I am also told I should be against the proposal because some rich guy backs it. It seems to me that a lower supply means a higher cost so that only the rich will be able to afford to park their cars. If we want to get people out of their cars, improve public transit. Taking a position against cars will not improve MUNI. The proposal may be flawed but we need more parking.
