Reply to comment by oekel in Want to know why NY metro housing is expensive? Answer in NYTimes OP-ED by Blecher_onthe_Hudson

Do you have a source? I was just assuming from observation and trends. In general suburbs have opposed 'transit oriented development' that increases density around commuter rail.

I grew up in a LI town 35 min from Penn with 2 LIRR stops, a cute little downtown, and zero multifamily development.
