Like many things, the CONCEPT of Light Rail is pretty valid- allowing suburban residents easy car-fee access to downtown for work, sporting events, social activities, etc. However, what it turns into in reality can often be far different, serving simply as a vector for criminals, vagrants and other ne'er-do-wells into your neighborhood.

exactly this. the rise in homeless, hobos, vagrants, down to the south metro area was made possible by the light rail. there are more homeless on Arapahoe Road than I've ever seen. Heck, there are even panhandlers at Ridgegate Parkway in full view of $1M homes
