We’ve actually moved quite seemlessly from a bedroom community to a well planned and designed city in a way that doesn’t bring the negatives that people associate with cities. … Our city has fabulous schools. Our city has great parks. Our city has top services. We have a safe community we have a very low crime rate. We’ve been able to transition from a bedroom community to all the best things of a suburban area or rural area while having the character, physical buildout, and the transit options of a city.
— Jay Fisette, Arlington County board member, describing how Arlington developed when Metro came to town (Arlington’s Smart Growth Journey via GGW).
