[Rain City Real Estate Guide] Does Mass Transit Affect Property Values?: It is loaded with case studies for both residential and commercial properties, and in general, the data is clear that a property values near a rail station are much greater than those farther away. The report gives lots of data showing that property values in Washintgon DC, Atlanta, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Santa Clara County, Portland, and San Diego all increased near transit stations. (Note that many of the results are phrased “price decrease by $XXX for every XX feet further from station.’ This is just another way of saying that prices increase near the station.) While two cities (Sacramento and San Jose) showed either no effect or a decrease in home values near the transit stations, the report found that (at least in San Jose), the property along the rail corridors were historically poorer (long before the current lightrail was added) than other parts of San Jose.

[Dwelzel.blogspot.com] Doug's Blog: August 2004: This morning I packed up the gear and headed south to Boston Harbon, WA (outside of Olympia) for the second of a series of 3 circuit races promoted by Broadmark Capital. The weather was beautiful and when I got to Boston Harbor I was greeted by water views and nice rolling hills. I couldn't wait.
[Baseballcrank.com] Baseball Crank: BASEBALL: Shrewd Pickups; Francisco Cordero: A few shrewd pickups this week: the Mets bring on Rey Sanchez, who's a better, cheaper, more versatile and friendlier version of Rey Ordonez; the Blue Jays, not coincidentally the one team with a Baseball Prospectus alum in the front office, pick up the multitalented Frank Catalanotto (although I'm less thrilled about the salary-cutting expedient of putting Catalanotto in the outfield to replace Jose Cruz jr.); and the Rangers bring aboard Esteban Yan, a good arm who should be a useful setup man.
