I agree with you that there is nothing around it and that's a big issue. But more and more I'm realizing that a lot of people don't want to be near SkyTrain. There is a market for it. Both because of noise and the issues that come with ST (bums etc...). I'm minutes away from the Burquitlam station and in three years I've used the train two times. My wife and I will never take the train over our car. Not in this area. Because the train to Vancouver takes so long and it's so uncomfortable compared to our car.
I would still want to be near the train station because of the amenities, the density, and heck, even the possibility that if I want to use the train in an emergency, I can. But I know a lot of people that absolutely despise the noise, the litter around the stations, the graffiti, the bums etc.
