setting up public transit as a villian isn't a "making perfect the enemy of good" situation. the bill as written wasn't good. it was actively bad. Pitting residents against public transit is counterproductive.
my first thought is that instead of tying the upzoning to transit lines or transit stations, it should be tied to transportation corridors. if a route carries a certain amount of people, whether by car or bus or train or jetpack, nearby buildings should be ineligible for certain height restrictions and parking minimums.
