[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When they say a mile to a metro stop, is that as the crow flies or as a human could walk?  For instance, medical center backs to NIH—if you weee a bird that could fly over campus, that’s one thing, but if you need to walk around it, that’s another.  [/quote]

It's a simple one mile radius. So this includes many areas that are not actually walkable. The radius should be smaller. If people cannot walk to the metro in around 15 minutes or less it will be more convenient for most of them to drive. [/quote]

Yeah I think we are within a one mile radius of a metro but it would take a half hour to forty minutes to walk there (because you couldn’t walk straight so it would be closer to 2 miles) and absolutely no one in my neighborhood does.  There’s a few of us that take the bus but not many because by the time you take the bus to metro and wait for both it makes a 30-40 munute  drive downtown take over an hour.

The bigger issue for me is the burden on schools.  We are sooooo overcrowded in our HS and MS.  Even with the new ones building built, there is just not a lot of capacity to add lots of multi family units to our catch area.  If they don’t have room and money to build new schools, I just don’t see how this is at all feasible.  [/quote]
