Yes, but much like a motorway, it's someone else's straight line, not mine. I still have to get to a station and then get to my destination afterwards, which could involve a lot of walking. Not to mention that not everybody wants to live in high density housing, it has a whole set of unwelcome problems of its own. Personally speaking I love dense living and walking everywhere, but it's not for everyone.
