Quotes throughout this report are drawn from interviews conducted with Arlington residents .
Like most people who engage in casual conversation , local residents who were willing to share their views would sometimes inadvertently repeat themselves ( e . g ., “ I … I … I , think that ….” “ uhh , uhh ….” “ you know , you know …,”) restart / revisit certain points and / or dramatically change direction when responding to a question .
These revisions were made for the expressed purpose of preserving comprehensibility . The thrust of our interviewees ’ comments , arguments and sentiments remain intact . Direct quotes from one-on-one interviews that appear in this final report have been edited for presentation and clarity .
