> So basically, you want to subsidize transit by making the transport authority be a slumlord

Is everyone who owns land a "slumlord" now?

It's well studied that transit generates huge economic value, but that value mostly manifests as increased land value near the stations.

So why shouldn't that value - created by transit - be credited to the transit that created it?
