Jobs Matter, But Quality of Life Matters More

Yes, good jobs are important. But today's workers are mobile - people change jobs or work remotely across the Metroplex. Work options give people more choices.

What keeps people rooted is how they live, not just where they work. Arlington must offer the kind of housing and urban life that makes people want to stay.

Designing for Connection and Choice

People are drawn to:

• Walkable, vibrant neighborhoods
• Mixed-use developments where they can live, shop, and gather
• Beautiful public spaces that bring people together
• A range of housing options for every stage of life

Arlington already has great assets - parks, schools, a central location, and a strong sense of community. Now we must connect these strengths through thoughtful design and planning.

Our Path Forward

To make Arlington a city of choice, we should:

• Encourage infill and mixed-use development to revitalize older corridors.
• Expand walkable and bike-friendly connections between neighborhoods, parks, and schools.
• Support diverse housing options that are affordable, attractive, and sustainable.

A City of Choice, Connection, and Opportunity

If we get this right, Arlington can lead North Texas - not by copying others, but by building on our own strengths.

Let's make Arlington the place where people choose to live, invest, and belong - today and for generations to come.
