This is the claim used to advertise these, but do we really see many Amazonians commuting in from Beacon Hill or Georgetown?

I have seen this happen firsthand. It took a few years but the "rail line to nowhere" built near me around 5 years ago has giant housing complexes surrounding every station. It runs over capacity during rush hour now.

I assume this only happens in places where the roads are overloaded though

As I recall, Seattle zoning actually worked to prevent increased density and parking near transit stations.
