Do you have a source? I was just assuming from observation and trends. In general suburbs have opposed 'transit oriented development' that increases density around commuter rail.

I grew up in a LI town 35 min from Penn with 2 LIRR stops, a cute little downtown, and zero multifamily development.

For one, New Jersey has Mount Laurel Doctrine which basically requires all municipalities to plan for growth
