True. As I've learned seeing Los Angeles, the carrot is time savings. And that won't happen until Frontrunner is regularly faster than driving (which will probably happen in the next 10-20 years).
On the upside to decentralized urbanization, guys like me actually get a shot at affording urban living. The type of high-rise steel construction people dream of on this forum create rent prices that are prohibitively expensive for probably 80% of Utahns.
Multi-core urbanization pockets and TODs allow wood-frame mid-rises that offer urban villages and transit accessibility at lower prices that are closer to suburban apartment complexes.
(But who am I kidding on the urban life. I'm still an in-my-early-30s older Millennial who is just grateful for an affordable suburban basement to rent with roommates).
