For now, some of the drawback holding back MC is the cost of TODs around low-income areas and the simple fact of having to change codes and land use laws to allow for these changes. It is a lot more fun to build flashy new projects than to retrofit existing spaces. But from what I have been reading, the local government is FINALLY taking changes like these into account and attempting to go back to its history of urban sustainable development.

I would assume that the City would be in favor of connecting some sort of fixed line transportation (BRT ext.) to these illegal settlements to encourage growth in certain areas and curtail it in others. I am also very surprised there is no allotment for some type of beautification around these TOD's. Very interesting article!
