Obviously, bike lanes don’t alter much LA’s development, but I think Europe’s super bike highways must have an impact on where people choose to live. I’d say induced demand applies to any kind of suitable way of commuting

"Europe’s super bike highways must have an impact on where people choose to live." What I'm seeing in a city with growing bike infrastructure is the increased attractiveness of city homes which are "mid-distance" from jobs i.e. places which are too far to be walkable but within biking distance - if you have to use a car anyway, then you might as well go a bit further and get a suburban home instead, but biking augments public transportation in allowing a bit larger "dense city" instead of a lot larger suburban sprawl.
