I was looking at the areas around the planned D line (purple) extension to speculate on potential new large-scale development and, not surprisingly, some of the station areas are already quite densely developed.
I started by looking at the UCLA station because as it's the future busiest station in the entire system (once the sepulveda pass line opens), it seems ideal for large scale development. The parking lot on the NW maybe? That surely can't stay.

Century City seems to lack much room other than on top of the station or tearing down parking.

Very little space near Rodeo as well.

Not much room around La Cienega either.

I think that there's a surprising amount of developable land surrounding the Future Fairfax station. The buildings/ businesses on the NW side are undersized and the land not fully used. Is the Museum expanding to the large parking lot on the SE?
