Nope. The article is much more like "if you drop parking lot requirements, you need to demand price parking so there are always a couple of spots available, drivers have incentives to leave, etc."

That holds for shopping and recreational areas.

In residential areas it does not work so well.

The backbone of society is provided by moderately paid people: Health workers, construction workers, police officers, factory workers.

We must enable these people to get to work. The solution so far was: enable them to own a car.

We can choose to let the market handle that: people probably will negotiate for higher salaries if cost of living goes up, higher salaries will drive prices and the spiral continues.
