It's a shame that so many regional rail stations around Philadelphia don't have any transit-oriented development, and instead embrace the park-n-ride model. Obviously I don't know the story with every single location, but over the years I have heard of local authorities resisting efforts by developers to add some dense development near stations. In some places there might not be demand, but in other places the authorities are stopping it from happening.
Big reason people resist dense development is parking concerns, and the solution is always to add more parking.
