I take the RedLine to work from MLK to Kramer every day and see how much demand there is for this service, despite its high fare.
I would completely agree. Looking at what Denver has done, for example, with TOD is really impressive. TOD can create a sense of place (as a neighborhood entry point) and gives good clusters of retail and offices. Would love to see more density built into TOD in East Austin.
