These places are too urban! Besides he said 'thriving retail districts' not urban retail districts. You will find lots of places with dead downtowns that have good public transportation. These are all independent variables.

What you need to have downtown are people in order to have thriving retail. You just happen to have good transit because there is a demand. Disney world has thriving retail and thriving free transit. It does not have thriving retail because of transit, it has it because it has people [[demand).
