Ultimately the market will decide if it works or not.

For sure, my concern would be that it would set a dangerous precedent for commercial development. Q Block (info below) is an east village development and already has a 1 per 1,000 square foot parking ratio which is really poor anywhere outside of downtown. If the residential developers start building projects without parking it will put pressure on the commercial developers to do the same, or at least reduce their parking allocations.
