Yeah. There are also cases where people have permits for specific spaces, such as the one or two spots directly in front of their lot. As things are now, a person with such a spot could take their car for a vacation trip to the island or something and that spot could sit empty but unusable in a high-demand area for a week. AFAIK, the city currently has no way of knowing that space isn't needed by the resident at those times, so it just sits there, unusable. But, if there were a simple system whereby a person could indicate they're not using their parking rights during a period, and they could be incentivized financially to tell the city that, and other people could see the availability of the spot and pay for time in it, then everybody wins.
From the city's point of view it's basically like saying to a resident "I give you permission to park there, but if you're not parking there at some time I would like to rent it to someone else to make money, and to encourage you to tell me when it's available to rent out I will give you a share of any money made from me renting the space during those times."
The idea wouldn't involve transferring ownership of public space to private individuals at all. That's a point that could have been easily clarified by asking a simple question rather than making an incorrect assumption and stating something was dumb, and then insisting upon understanding something that was clearly not understood. Good on you for not doing that.
