I do think we agree. Management trumps assets.

DHamp, my sense of the location of the Metra stops is based on several walks from Hyde Park all the way to downtown. Add the fact that the south side arould the MLK is less dense and less congested than the north side, and that Metra terminates at Randolph instead of servicing the job-rich loop area with multiple stops, and the idea of commuting downtown from say 35th via a silver line stops making sense.
