Public Transportation and Smart Growth

I remember some years back when Arlington voters were asked to approve funding for a mass transit system. I head opponents on local public radio saying the mass transit would allow "those people" to get to Arlington. Every other sentence was about "those people". Well the voters did not approve the mass transit funding, but it didn't keep "those people" out. Arlington is now earning the reputation of being very "ghetto". This is sad, because Arlington is a beautiful town, we go over there all the time and my daughter owns a home there. And what's not to like about a town with street called "Chip n Dale".
