Good response. As for whether people will actually embrace high density living, well, the good news is that there's some empirical data on that.

Charlotte reached from the 'bottom rung to the top' and ridership has beaten projections. I like your ideas, but as a relatively prosperous community, we can afford to be more ambitious.

MichaelB,
Thanks for the info. You are probably right that it is an under-served market, but even then, having done research and marketing in the past years, if 15% of people say it would be their first pick in theory, it will be smashing success if 10% actually follow through with their checkbooks.

I was in the process of completely agreeing with mktackabery when you posted.

Thanks for saying I'm better than that, "that" being a gentrifier. My point, of course, is that we've skipped over a whole lot of industrial dirt on the eastern edge of Durham in order to build Durham's suburbs out there where the farms used to be.

Come on Bob, you are better than that.
