Because it connects to a new train station, a bunch of hotels, and whole neighborhood. If I was staying in those hotels, it would be greatly beneficial for me to make that walk rather than pay to be driven.

It's circuitous. And complex for travelers with bags and kids. This is so much cleaner.
The VRE connection helps a ton. VRE doesn't run much, but it doesn't go to many places. The more destinations it serves, the more reasonable it'll be to run frequently, the more frequently it runs, the more people will build things accessible to it. It's a great positive feedback loop.

Our neighbors did that too. Grass lot with a small garden, paved over all the way to the house for a parking pad and tacky patio area.
Zoning requires a specific amount of permeable surface, 20% of the lot in my zone, and their lot was over 95% impermeable. I put in a complaint with then-DCRA, they took four months to inspect, and found no violation. Nothing we can do except absorb their water.
