How close will the expo and purple line (eventually) get to the beach? Obviously the slogan is "subway to the sea" and there are benefits of getting one or the other to the beach, but increased density may be pretty difficult to achieve if they get into territory governed by the California Coastal Commission, regardless of Santa Monica's wishes or plans. The Coastal Commission doesn't exactly have a strong track record of being friendly to density or height.
