It said the"spatial mismatch" between jobs, housing and services is"especially pronounced in disadvantaged communities."transportation infrastructure To fix those problems, the report called for what it called"equitable transit-oriented development ." This mode of development involves making walking and biking"more viable.""ETOD supports a walkable, mixed use development and transit lifestyle and meets the needs of existing businesses and consumers, while avoiding displacement of local residents and ensuring an adequate mix of affordable and market rate housing," it said.
