On the development train

The Wall Street Journal has noticed that TODs are hot right now (via CoolTown Studios). They cite estimates that there are around 100 TOD projects in development, with about 100 more in the pipeline. The president of the American Public Transportation Association says, "This isn't to say that the traditional suburb is going away." There will just be more housing built "for this demographic who desire walkable communities with easy access to transportation."
