[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op isn’t wrong to worry. Ever since Tysons got the metro, we have seen crime go up. I live a mile from Tysons in McLean, so we are acutely aware of the changes . The only difference is Fairfax county police does not coddle criminals like in MoCo, thank god for small mercies.[/quote] The pros of rapid transit still outweigh the cons, which may definitely include an increase in crime. Imagine if the DC region built all the freeways planned in the 50s instead of the Metro subway. DC would be a much less attractive city, and it’s hard to say if crime levels would’ve been lower w/o Metro and with all the freeways. Look at Detroit with its spaghetti system of freeways and no mass rapid transit. [/quote] I’m pretty sure that there are many more important factors that brought Detroit to its current state.[/quote]
