Rail Encourages Dense Development , so in a way it soaks up the sprawl.... You'll still have sprawl but it won't go out for miles and miles...
So long as the rail actually links with the job centers, highly unlikly based on the current development pattern. It is a very complex issue, look at Patco, only 40K daily ridership, among a working population of 400K

The PATCO , nor any of the southern Jersey towns haven't taken full or any advantage of TOD....around the stations. Same with Septa , only Northern Jersey , NY and Westchester have full fledged TOD along there lines..... The Riverline towns have improved on this with TOD around there stations , and ridership is growing.....
The title of the article is true for the most part but it's kinda ironic that the county with the biggest decrease was Cape May...doesn't get any more coastal and southern than that.
the title is misleading, there are northern counties which grew just as much if not more than southern and coastal counties. see: somerset county -vs- burlington, sussex county -vs- salem for instance.
Well it seems like the main conclusion they drew was that the counties with the two biggest growths by far (Gloucester and Ocean) are southern, and coastal, respectively (as Gloucester is not coastal and many would argue that Ocean is not Southern). Atlantic County (both southern and coastal) was tied for the third-largest growth.
But it is somewhat misleading since these counties grew the most because there's the most room to grow there. Not much more room to grow in Bergen County...

i don't get the conclusion drawn by this article.
that's kinda what i thought too. north growth has certainly gotten slower, south is growing, but it's not like people are fleeing the north part of the state.
