although we still have the NSC Tempo bus. maybe he can help

iirc there was some less than ideal targeting of the perceived transit rider demographic (payday lenders come to mind), so it was easier (and probably more legal) to just say no ads

I have no doubt Metro can provide plenty of profit to private sellers in land deals. Plus, the check clears!

there's a new CSP in town: the Colby Sledge Plan

all the more reason to have purchased it imo. save years of design planning and procurement for a transit hub, and use that site (which I think the Convention Center Authority still owns) for the TOD of our dreams

The hourly-service level is currently dissuading people. This is presented as a revenue replacement model for those concerned about making the rest of the system free. (And also an acknowledgement that $10 is still way cheaper than rideshare and taxis.)

You could create affordable housing under current entitlements and make it the first project under the municipally funded housing study Metro approved this budget year. You could use CHYM money for the transit infrastructure and a separate capital stack for the housing. I'm losing my mind

I agree w/you on enforcement. The lack of it leads to CMs having to do whatever they can to get guardrails and be extremely cautious. I told every developer I dealt with that their failures didn't necessarily affect their project, but imperiled public support of everyone else's future projects.
