Hudson Yards, when fully completed, will possibly be the densest concentration of jobs on earth. It's basically the anti-Metro Detroit in terms of spatial jobs concentration.

If Detroit had a similar spatial jobs pattern, I would definitely support heavy rail. But we have a massively dispersed jobs market that is [[IMO) best suited for flexible mobility.
