Question

Criticize the answer to the following question

Question. Will high-density development induce demand for public transit or does one need to build up public transit first so that high-density development can follow?

Answer. High-density development needs to be induced for higher demand of public transit. City where public transportation excels, tend to have lots of high-density development. The reason high-density development will need to be developed first is that currently, southern California does not have the population density to make traveling by public transport more feasible than traveling by car. More high-density development in California will encourage a better public transportation system as it becomes convenient for residents.
