Well said

Great letter in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram today.  We agree.

Fort Worth face-off

Mitchell Schnurman's Wednesday column describes some streetcar advocates as acting like big babies -- since I didn't get my way, I'm going to move out of town. (See: "Streetcar lines now looking like fault lines")

Perhaps that is best because folks like that will not help the city grow. Many of the people I know were against streetcars right now because of finances. The city cannot afford to incur more debt without the ability to pay unless taxes are raised. Continual growth will come with a strong financial base, and that is what Fort Worth has to have.

It is most discouraging that Schnurman's column reads like an attempt to pit one part of the city against another.
