Good thing eminent domain is being used to protect train stations from TOD:
Progress on acquiring land in the Crossroads Business Park for the 1,500-space parking lot at the planned station is moving along more slowly. Officials had originally expected the station to be open by now, but numerous issues have popped up, with the most recent problems caused by stalled negotiations for land for the commuter parking lot.
The county had been negotiating with businessmen George Lester and Fitz Johnson, who own the property needed for VRE parking. The businessmen recently gained county approval to build 610 apartment units and commercial space next to the station site.
But the negotiations for the roughly 25 acres for the parking lot have proven fruitless. So the county recently asked the Virginia Department of Transportation to handle the property acquisition.
“They can facilitate it better,” said Spotsylvania County Administrator Doug Barnes.
Systemic Failure 
The article is unclear, but I think the businessmen are building 610 apartments and commercial space on one part of their property and the “25 acres” for the parking lot are a different part of the property. So not as bad as you thought.
