The metro project will allow more affordable housing and rental to be built to address the huge shortfall in housing and rentals. By not funding and completing the metro project, the lawmakers who are opposed to extending the GET tax another 10 years, are condemning more people into homelessness, to economic insecurity. The metro project will provide development along the metro line and around the 21 metro stations, providing more businesses and jobs for all, and increase State and City tax revenues.
