Synergy

Here's an interesting note linking transit and housing. To anybody living in a large city that is well served by public transit, it's pretty clear that good nearby housing increases transit use, and availability of nearby transit increases the desirability of housing. Unfortunately, planners and developers seem to forget this, concluding that "park 'n' ride" is the only answer for transit expansion. Think again. Strangely, this is yet another arena in which economic arguments may force things in the right direction where logic and activism could make no headway . . .
