If traffic gets bad enough people will make different decisions.
Only if the infrastructure is there tbh. Every time I get on my bike I have to make peace that I might just die that day because I can't hardly get out of my apartment before a car tries to hit me. And we even have bike lanes all over here they just aren't set up well. Tons of people don't want to do that even if the alternative is to sit in traffic for longer than it takes me to bike somewhere
the impetus to improve the infrastructure will be stronger if conditions are worse
don't chicken-and-egg yourself out of densification
