Not sure if you are replying to me or Jack, but by saying that a walkable station would be out of the question, I was implying that the station would have to be what I consider a "suburban-style" station, which includes a massive parking deck.
Having been to many places with great public transit and lived near both a "suburban-style" station and walkable station, my preference always flows towards the latter. Nothing wrong with the former; time and some sprawl repair will take care of converting those when the need and demand rises; it's just that the activity and economic impact is so much better around a station when the built environment is walkable or the surrounding land around a new station is developed appropriately.
