If you want to build apartments and homes in Nashville, you are required to build parking for cars. Otherwise, the city council will kill your project.

Not just Nashville. Any city in the US and undoubtedly other countries. Also not just apartment buildings.
Any city in the US
I don't think that's correct, for example, San Francisco:
On December 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance (the “Ordinance”) eliminating required parking minimums citywide for all uses.
Huh that's interesting, maybe because San Francisco is so densely packed. It's the exception not the rule. In our car centric country having parking space requirements is common sense like building codes.
Yeah, surely at least Manhattan isn't like that as well
My town outside of Boston, technically a city, has like three screenfuls of parking minimums listed to cover many situations. New apartment buildings in the center require 1.25 spots per unit, as part of othe statewide goal for transit oriented development
I looked into opening a bar long ago in a fairly rural college town. One of the regulations was to have one parking space for so many seats. It's an issue in a neighborhood where I once lived. Most of the houses were built before cars so most residents park on the street. It became the hip new place to be and high end restaurants and bars popped up causing lots of conflict
