A billion dollars for two stations? How could it possibly be cost-effective to invest a billion dollars for two stations 40 miles from DC? There are concerns of the cost of Potomac Yard but even the most pessimistic estimates come in under $500 Million. That region is much better positioned for development, only 10 miles from DC and surrounded by relatively high density.

Also I have no idea where the $10 Million figure came from, but Loudoun can expand their bus system quite nicely for $10 Million a year. It is a heck of a lot better than giving existing residents the shaft by forcing them to drive to Ashburn to get to Metro.
