It's already denser without having transit other than buses.

It's already denser than what planners assumed over a decade ago.

Why do we need to have a mode switch, it seems the area in question is already booming economically and doing just fine as is?

Wouldn't Austin be better off spending its limited financial resources in areas of the city that are not booming economically.
