Couldn't agree more.
Rail infrastructure is a long term investment that shapes the city around it (if allowed to). Sure, build so that a new line ties into other parts of the transit system and to significant trip generators, but over the longer term the intermediary stations will fill in with more housing/workplaces/shops/schools/... so that they also become trip generators (if allowed to). Once the connection to LAX and the C line is in service the ridership is bound to really go up. Which will make stops like DT Inglewood go way up in boardings as well. Which will drive infill & densification surrounding the station. Which developers of course are already aware off.
All that said, rebuilding the station so that there could be a convenient exit to the other side of the station (and to across Florence) won't be cheap. Tho I guess it's better to have the station built in a budget-friendly way now than to have the project delayed of budget debates.
