Property values only increase “around tram stops” and not “along tram tracks” if the stops are wide spaced. This is significant because although the property values will increase up to 400 metres from a stop, in all directions, the graph is a “distance decay curve” with quite a steep downward curve. The real property speculation money is made very close to the stops.
