Then, at the District, the apartment complex going up on 118th South and the condo project on 114th South will soon be only a couple miles from the Daybreak South station. Then the two projects going up in western West Jordan will only be a few miles from the 48th West/Old Bingham station. So only one is within easy walking distance, then the others are either easy biking distance or a short drive.

0.5 miles is walking distance. So one of those is within walking distance. However, these developments are just going to induce the amount of driving because what all these developments are doing is densifying the suburban lifestyle. Developers aren't building these dense developments for the sake of the environment or to create efficient transit oriented development (TODs) or else they would be conveniently located near mass transit. They are just trying to make more money, so they are squeezing in as many units as they can on the cheapest piece of property they can find. This will just clog up your suburban, disconnected and spread out roads.
