'We're awake': Arlington is aiming to create its own skyline - Dallas Business Journal

“We’re awake, we’re no longer a bedroom community,” Ross said. “We’re a big-ass city in the middle of two other big cities, and we’re a force to be reckoned with.”

“While we’ve been that sleepy bedroom community, we’ve learned how to develop relationships with folks,” he said. “The Rangers came here 50 years ago. They never left.” Ross spoke with theabout how Arlington is aiming to attract development and businesses and create its own skyline. Watch Choctaw Stadium and the property around there. We are repurposing Choctaw Stadium like a stadium has never been repurposed anywhere in this country.

Aside from just that, it’s providing an atmosphere where you have a balance in your living. In other words, a lot of communities right now, for instance, are suffering because their real estate market is increasing at a dramatic rate. The median job income is not increasing nearly as fast as the real estate market is. So what you have is a greater and greater separation between income and the cost of providing housing for people at that income.

You have to have a balance for everything, not just in the number of jobs because we do have a lot of good jobs coming in, but the quality of the jobs. Where the jobs are located, the health and safety of the community around the jobs and how the community is dealing with social issues.
