I am sorry, good sir, but I must vehemently disagree with your reasoning. Arlington is not such a bad area, especially when compared to Dorchester, to which the Red Line does connect. In addition, the Red Line links through Mattapan cough Murderpan via trolley. So, I consider your comment thoroughly debunked.
- gregshap 10y agoIt was arlington that blocked the expansion because they didn't want the wrong people coming from the wrong areas, not the other way around. [I lived in Arlington in the 90s-2000s]
- albedoa 10y agoArlington resident here. Your comment in no way debunks the parent. The commenter did not say Arlington is a bad area. If I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, you either misread or do not understand.
- thex10 10y agoWow such confidence. Too bad your understanding is lacking. Arlington is indeed not such a bad area. But folks in Arlington and Lexington (the planned terminus for the red line) were the ones that objected to the expansion. They didn't want increased traffic (all the people trying to park to take the train would make their towns less quaint and all), and they didn't want the urbans/poors/etc to be able to easily visit.
