"My points are two-fold. I think everyone needs to understand that, overall, traffic in and around Tysons will stay as bad as it is today or even get worse despite rail and high-quality mixed use development."

IF we fail to get the volume of development planned, than traffic on the DTR will decrease (note well, that the table you pointed to shows a very modest increase in traffic in the build case)

As for what is fair, and unfair, thats debatable. There are certainly lots of residents of FFX and Loudoun whose homes will be more valuable in the build case than in the no build case. Theres no provision for recapturing that. Undoubtedly some people will face a net cost due to the Silver Line. I think thats probably true of any change, and of any infrastructure constructed.
