Transit-proximate development

Okay kiddo, so let's say you live in a big city and you need to go to school or to the grocery store. Do you want to walk a long way, or do you want to take a train or bus that's close to where you live and go to where you want to go quickly?

Well, that's what transit-proximate development is all about. It means building homes, shops, and offices near public transportation, such as trains and buses, so people can travel easily and quickly to where they need to go.

When you have a lot of things near public transportation, it can make life easier for everybody. People don't need to drive their cars as much, which means there's less traffic and air pollution. Plus, it's good for the environment because fewer people are using cars to get around.

So, transit-proximate development is a smart way to make cities better for people and the earth.
