TOD specifically lowers household VMT through proximity to transit and amenities, with one analysis showing regional VMT drops of about 1.2% from such implementations.
Real-world examples confirm 20-60% lower annual driving in walkable neighborhoods compared to auto-dependent suburbs.

In Toronto and Vancouver, households need 17-18 years of savings at 25% of income to afford a down payment, pricing out most under-40 workers.
Over 66% of middle-income earners ($40,000-$125,000) spend more than 30% of income on housing, forcing choices like long commutes or relocation.
