No, please God don't make mandatory parking a part of real estate. Build one large garage per X blocks and get rid of cars as a primary means of transport. Cars are a blight on the land and far to expensive to be sustainable. We need better public transit everywhere in Germany (although I think it's quite good especially compared to the north America).

Trams, trains, and subways should be the future of Germany as they're far more cost effective and far more human centric.

maybe not garages, but just centralizing surface parking lots is definitely a good idea since it makes car ownership more annoying and later on you can trivially construct a proper building on that spot.

Anything that keeps cars off streets the longest and efficiently stores them. The vast majority of people should be forced to use public transit to transverse cities. Everything is made slower and more expensive when we allow cars on inner street roads.
