Federal officials say the United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness, a dramatic rise driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in several parts of the country.

    I think transit tends to create commercial and residential demand. That demand can, should, and usually does drive zoning for the area.

    At least for me, my nimbyism about high density housing is all about not having the transit to support it. Our roads are already past max capacity, and adding just another lane isn’t going to last long. Even if the new communities are the 4 over 1 mix housing and commercial.
