Why couldn't the density be maintained for all corridors?
Just cruised through Hoboken, NJ again this morning. It's the densest residential community in North America, and there are very few problems with crowding, driving, etc. Of course you have your typical rush hour mash-ups, but other then that going there is awesome. You have almost everything you need in town, and if not, it's either a short walk or a train ride to where you need to go.
Granted, the place is connected by PATH to Manhatten, the Hudson-Bergen LRT that links the NJ communities on the west side of the Hudson River, and Commuter rail that takes you to Newark and deeper into NJ, NY State & Pen.
Of course, this solidifies the argument for more transit to increase density, but why build low-medium now, only to have to tear everything down, when you can build medium-high density later when more transit arrives.
More people = more transit & more local amenities = more transit options = lower ratio of people in their cars on the roads
