The Loudoun equation is missing one important variable -- the cost of the road and non-rail transit (bus) improvements that will be needed to support dense development at the two Loudoun stations

The other relevant data point is the cost of infrastructure improvements needed to support sprawling development if Loudoun chooses to go that route instead of TOD.

Also, I wouldn't say that if Loudoun drops out of the Silver Line they'll get something for nothing. Considering that 50% of the line is financed through DTR tolls and Loudoun residents are heavy users of the DTR, it's the opposite case -- they'll be paying high toll rate but get very little in return.
