Guys... just learn from Stockholm. They are at the forefront of what is sustainable. They built metro lines before there was demand for them. They coordinated their growth along those lines. And so today they have one of the best transportation systems in the world. Car usage there is significantly less than elsewhere, even less than in cities like Berlin.
For crying out loud, these guys in Stockholm have a metro system that is like 110 km - versus our 70 km - it is 50% bigger - yet its metropolitan area is less than half our size. If that is not a slap in the face then I really do not know what is.
The reasoning that there is not enough demand is a bunch of phony baloney. Demand can be created, depending on what landuse is implemented. Sheppard has been an insane success, as ridership along the stub has increased insanely since it opened.
