The problem lies in the fact that the transitway is half-assed and in its current state could never spur the type of real TOD we see in other places.
Because we literally can't even build a whole line of half decent functional rapid transit, we end up with half baked excuses for TOD because we don't have the balls to take the necessary steps to provide real mass transit. The result is that people pretty much still need a car. As beggars we can't be choosers when it comes to this sort of development when we can't even provide the preconditions for good development to take place.
