What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Otherwise, you don’t know whether the differences you see come from the presence or absence of mass transit. If the neighborhoods are similar in age, gender and socio-economic status, have similar businesses, and so on, then any differences you find will be more likely to stem from the presence or absence of transit stops.
