Yeah, people make exactly this argument every time it's proposed to build denser stuff with less parking in the middle of downtown Palo Alto, which has relatively good walking/train/bus/bike lanes... we can't possibly do it yet because we aren't ready. Even though surveys show that people who live or go to downtown use cars less than the rest of the city.
And so parking spaces are built which are never used.
