Hi I just have a few questions before deciding to come at the camp.
I hope that you can assist me with these questions because these are the reasons I want to go.
In Transit-Oriented Development for Low-Income Neighborhoods topic that you will cover..
Are you going to tackle how that Transit emerged and how it arrived to that position?
Or are you going to step off to the advantages and the disadvantages of that topic?
Because actually I want to know its history because this is really the topic I want.
I want to explore more about it and make sure that the topics that I want would be tackled.
Hope you cover this. Thanks so much for your assistance.
