Not the case. People want a streetcar on Foster/Powell to spur development there since the #14 bus just isn't cutting it, even though it runs through the dense pre-existing Hawthorne neighborhood.

What I am saying is you cannot attibute the net 1.9b in development to the streetcar when most that development would have happened regardless, because of the 600m handout.
