Arlington spokeswoman Susan Schrock said the city does not plan to add a mass transit line within the city limits, but it is exploring other options.
“We’re exploring this technology as it becomes available,” she said.
Would anybody like to explain to this woman that trains and light rails exist? Or shit, even buses. What other fucking technology exists that’s more efficient than any of those options?!
They don't want it because Arlington has a lot of rich enclaves that don't want the poors being able to get off in the area or spend literally any tax money. Several other suburban cities around Dallas that aren't as fucked as Arlington have some light rail and bus transit, even though it's terribly inadequate.
Additionally Arlington is stuck in the middle between Dallas and Fort Worth, which have populations of 1.4 million and 900 thousand, so the train transport between them just skips Arlington since the city won't spend any money to build stations.

my brain had its biggest growth spurt the day I was told that someone saying we need to wait for the data/studies/tech is code for "shut up and go away for 80 years" because that's about how long it takes for the data/studies/tech to happen

LADY DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE A LONG CAR AND PUT PEOPLE IN IT AND RUN IT ON A SCHEDULE
EXPLORE THE TECHNOLOGY OF MY ASSHOLE
Susan Schrock? More like Sukma Cock, right?
Low effort, but I'll let it slide I guess

It may be time to revive the head -> desk meme.

Technology as it becomes available is only an acceptable answer if you're going to start incorporating a rental jet pack system.
I think it is time for Musk-Man to save the day and build a loop.
