A thing happening here, finally, is that area near a MARTA station are burgeoning, it's viewed as a big plus, at least in promo materials. So, to an extent, that is a build it and they will come, decades later, but I have a suspicion most buying condos and renting near stations still mostly drive anyway. We're just under a mile from two stations, which works to get to the airport, weather permitting. The real development is closer to those two stations, and it's extreme. The same is happening on other lines that cut through what were sketchy neighborhoods back in the day.
I'm not totally against such things obviously, but we need to be realistic about proposals and examine the cost:benefit carefully, or we end up with things like we see in CA with HSR, a predictable major disaster. And technology may supplant the need for some of this in time.
