Or cities can utilize underground parking more, like Salt Lake City.

I suspect that traffic will get better in the likely event that automation takes over many jobs in the next 30 years. People will start working from home more or a socialist will implement UBI.
57% of trips in Tokyo are on public transportation and their streets are still gridlock. (A lot of the remaining trips are local deliveries)

I used to work for a Japanese company. The factory in Osaka that I visited employed more than 1000 people but had 12 parking spots. Osaka's streets were also gridlock.
