    The implementation of the Light Rail caused numerous small businesses to go under. Hence, further expansion of the Light Rail will cause numerous more to close down. The unemployment rate in the Phoenix region increased 45% over the past 3 months and is rapidly approaching 5%. Phoenix cannot afford to continue expansion of the Light Rail. The amount of use is nowhere close to where it should be which does not support further expansion at this time.
