Cool cool, a transit stop.

A single rail station -- while awesome -- won't ameliorate the traffic. The largest cities, with much more extensive transit systems than Austin is building, still need grids that connect, and strategies for dealing with car traffic.

I'm sorry to be such a pessimist but I don't think we've quite reckoned with what a boom in Rainey -- as opposed to quarantine in Rainey -- is going to look like, or how dense we're actually building (Which is good! it's great! but we have to get faster at solving these evolving challenges because the market is going to overwhelm us).
