Personally I can and do walk anywhere downtown from the convention center [the downtown stop location]. From the Burnet Rd. stop [5 stops from downtown I believe] I would be more than happy to walk anywhere in the Domain.

Have you ever actually tried to walk anywhere up there? Granted, fifty years from now, if the area is redeveloped, it might not be horrible (would still be way too long), but right now you'll spend about half of the walk in a ditch.
Hint: I used to work in the pink IBM buildings, and rode my bike up/down both Burnet and Metric a few times. Even guys like me would drive to the rec site on the other side (where the Domain is now) because the walk was so unpleasant.
