Capital extraction is just one aspect. However, one can get a lot of money from transit oriented development just as well. The problem is, that it is in many places plain illegal to develop in such a way and car oriented development is heavily encoraged by regulatiry means and heavy subsidies. There is also a lack in expertise on all levels, in comoanies but also among authorities, in doin stuff any other way than car-only suburbia.
