So there is a period of light use phasing out between 1981 and 1985. Before that a heavy rail line used twice a day (one in and one out) rumbled past houses in the area. The process of transferring ownership took another decade. The Georgetown Branch Trail did not open till 1997. By that time the Purple Line proposal was already out there.

I'm not saying this is the best thing since sliced bread for those very close to the facility. I do think the negative effects will be localized and that the area on the whole will benefit. And I also think that an argument based on the unexpected effect on home prices is totally off the mark.
