FWIW, this is the basis of Belmont's (_Cities in Full_) criticism of polycentric development generally and the polycentric nature of the WMATA system specifically.

But this is the proverbial dead horse argument. It's a waste to even think about Clarksburg in terms of "transit" oriented development. Value of transit oriented development is in inner rings of the metropolitan area, and more value comes from developing this area more intensively, not from further extending high quality transit outward. Not that outward extensions aren't good, just from an ROI standpoint, they are more about extending sprawl than promoting intensive land use.
