Seems very much correlation vs causation. The housing near the metro lines tends to be denser and less energy intensive.

So it’s interesting to me that there’s the little block of higher emissions in old town, even though it’s one of the most walkable/bikeable areas in the dmv. I wonder if it has to do with the houses being so old that they require more energy to heat/cool.

??? Okay but the increased density is usually because people want to live near the metro lines. Have you ever heard of transit oriented development?
