sharing as good enough . This would help the youth since they cannot drive themselves . It would also help for college students as many can ’ t afford cars with their tuition and books . There are pros and cons , and Arlington has tried to pass a bus system 3 times and failed but it threatens other industries ( oil and gas ). Buses are a great economic return of 4:1 return on investment . It would also reduce carbon emissions . The City of Arlington has had poor execution of this aspect of transportation .
Asked the group for any additional comments :
• Doesn ’ t concern the youth but there is neglect of care for minorities for around pioneer parkway , not sure if it is racially or economically motivated . Does see a lot of apartment complexes being renovated and it looks like gentrification . Should be reinvigorating , not gentrification .
