This situation is one symptom of exactly the types of problems that were the basis of objections. Citizens were rightly concerned about the ability of infrastructure to keep up with expanding sprawl. The transit in the core needs intensification, while under serviced suburban routes still lose money. It is very expensive to provide all urban amenities to thoughtless sprawl - you end up with so much low density infrastructure to support. The city seems to have put the wishes of their Walmart tenant above sound planning and infrastructure assessments. Particularly if Walmart bullied the city to get approved/rezoned - they should be on the hook for any gap between tax revenues from them, and investments required in supporting infrastructure.
