[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great news. Now they can spend that money on actual county priorities like expanding and updating schools. Hopefully once we get rid of Tejada and Hynes we can stop the $1 million bus stops and what not for good. Even more money for schools, affordable housing, etc without stealing resources from parks and community centers. I personally can't wait to vote Fisette out, though. I'm sure his concession speech will include that his loss must be a "miscommunication" involving the ignorance of the Arlington electorate or something, though :lol: [/quote] This is so short sighted. Every single study of modern streetcars show that PERMANENT streetcar infrastrucutre significantly increases property values and desirability of businesses and new houses want to locate on permanent infrastrcuture not a bus line. Columbia Pike sucks. But I guess you all think its awesome and that there is a money tree growing somehwere to continue build subsidized housing etc...[/quote] that must be why streetcars are so popular these days and are everywhere......er....wait.[/quote] Well 17 cities are now bringing them back and in various stages of construction. Its about land value. [/quote]
