Well... it doesn't have to make "more" sense.They're both things worth measuring...
That’s a good point. Although I think of city populations as being somewhat arbitrary — since the borders are in some sense arbitrary. If the Region is amalgamated into one city that doesn’t mean that we should replace the K-W population with the whole region population in the computation. On the other hand if the borders “make sense” (judgement call) then they might be relevant for evaluating transit.
And of course the “near a stop” measure also has some arbitrariness — who decides how far from a stop is “near”? The exact number is arbitrary (within a range of reasonable values) but may significantly affect the overall computation.
Isn’t it great that we can talk about stuff like this rather than whether certain politicians are going to win the election and cancel the project?
