I would be interested in understanding how having one station on a 14 mile extension of the Red Line will have such a dramatic effect on the ability of people who live throught the Washington region to reach this site, such that with this extension and station, 22 million square feet of space would be reasonable, while absent that station on an extension from the outermost Red Line station, only 6 million square feet of space would be reasonable.

When thinking about transit oriented development, it is seems many assume that any transit station can replace a substantial amount of travel by private vehicles, without any consideration as to the transportation needs, the capacity of the line, its reach and the time required using public transportation to reach travel between that station and other destinations. This isn't true for many residents near urban stations, nor is it true for residents and employees near suburban stations.
