More to the point, they *can't* use light rail, even if they wanted to, because it doesn't run anywhere near them, nor to this office park. If it does someday snake up this way, and Natomas somehow gets repaired into more transit-oriented form, much of this parking lot will doubtless sprout new buildings as the market changes. A parking lot isn't eternal. Which, I think, everyone here realizes--except for Majin.
Although I do give Majin credit for finally realizing that developers *want* to build parking lots, because they're cheaper than parking structures, and they realize that in the absence of transit alternatives, the only way to sell buildings is to include sufficient parking.
