I would care about social justice, the world economy, and global warming too except that the rest of you all have that pretty well covered.

Even when (if?) the proposed 150-mile rail transit network is complete, fewer than 1/4 of employers will be located within 1/2 mile of a rail station.”

I wonder what percentage of metro Atlanta employers are located within 1/2 mile of the existing (and most would agree limited, as in <50 miles) MARTA rail system? Given that it serves the airport, downtown, midtown, buckhead, portions of the perimeter area, and decatur too, I suspect it is a sizeable amount.
