Land Use Impacts

@SounderBruce Re: Land Use Impacts, I agree that in text attribution is maybe unnecessary but think it would be helpful to at least include the source because it speaks to local land use impacts and the relationship between Link Light Rail and changing land use / transportation behaviors. Your thoughts? MarcusLeland (talk) 20:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are better sources out there for the land-use impacts that Link has specifically affected; enabling students and workers to commute in from further out, more affordable housing is applicable to most transit systems and is thus unremarkable. This is a summary article for the system and should not be going into those kinds of details. Sounder Bruce 20:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you propose an additional article or? MarcusLeland (talk) 23:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Criticisms Section

Generally speaking think it is warranted to include this given that there are criticisms and ongoing issues / debate around Link Light Rail and starting a new article on this would split it up which is not conducive to Wiki policies. MarcusLeland (talk) 20:15, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See the essay at WP:CRIT. A mixed bag section is to be avoided, and it's better to spread it out into appropriate sections. I'm hoping to take this article to GA and FA status in the near future when the dust settles on the Line 2 situation, so it'd be best to avoid making a mess out of things in the meantime.
