I don't agree. The perfect mass transit station is barely visible on the surface; a doorway, a down escalator. Fits in a row of shops. Of course, that presupposes an underground train....
Right, Chaz.
Look at that picture a little more closely - and tell me what's missing?
Right. Buildings. Other buildings. This thing is being built adjacent to a freeway in a freaking open field!
It's easy to build a big, architecturally lavish structure when there aren't any other structures within the immediate vicinity to limit your design options.
Now, how exactly again do you propose building a station that covers roughly FIVE FREAKING ACRES! - anywhere along ST's current or proposed routings?
I can imagine that building covered in graffiti with vagrants hanging outside.

It's hard not to...
I'm just surprised that Charles didn't find a way to include a naked woman in that photo.
@1 - you mean a Tokyo monorail station in the burbs.
And he tried, but ECB stole all the pics.
@5
Damn it! It's raciest to imply that Chuck is misogynistic. Don't you know that?... Shame on you.
The roofline and support columns are nice. Other than that it looks like a skate rental facility for the ice rink in front of it.
@3 - the pee smell. Did you remember to imagine the pee smell?
Hmm, I feel like I've seen that roofline before... Oh wait: http://www.soundtransit.org/x1647.xml
I think I've seen it before, on "The Jetsons." Did they have Jetsons on the telly where you grew up, Charles?
