This is what's going to happen with our line; the ones along Osborne will actually develop TOD because of the space constraint, but the ones that go out to greenfield won't be development, and no one will walk to them. It'll be parking for the suburban and exurban commuters to park and ride.
If those cars stay out in the suburbs instead of clogging up the downtown isn't that still a win?
