In New York, property values go up as they near transit lines. People want the option to use the public transit because it can dramatically improve access to the rest of the city.

Yeah, no surprise there. Landowners profit without doing anything when the government builds out public transport.

The problem is, the healthcare costs don't hit the parties responsible (i.e. governments and cheapskate landlords).
