In fact, MTA could probably make money by building large garages, and then selling off some of the land, which would now be valuable because of its excellent rail access.

Have you seen the area around the Ronkonkoma station? It's a vast wasteland. Any of the retail near the station is in shambles. Vacant stores are the norm. An entire shopping center is basically abandoned as the stores couldn't makeit. Empty lots are the norm. Run down homes are the norm. And this for a station that has thousands upon thousands of cars a day pass though. And tens of thousands of people. The place is such chaos that people just come in and get out as fast as they can. Commuters run to their trains in the morning from their cars, and they run back to their cars in the evening and peel out of the parking lot and away.
