| "Tucson's blend of native residents and all who have relocated here create a rich melting pot of diversity and creative synergy for our common endeavor of creating smart growth and preservation of our valuable assets. In addition I believe that the ambience ambiente that exists is a primary reason why people live here or choose to relocate to Tucson." |
| "The cultural, ethnic, language, and racial diversity" |
| "Sunsets, blue skies, great bird population, wonderful variety of growing things, fascinating and unusual critters. If I drive an hour north, west, or east of here, the desert loses it's color and diversity. I love living on an urban lot that's occasionally visited by javelina, a roadrunner, a coyote, a great horned owl, and more birds than I can look up in my bird book." |
| "Places are created by their diversity. Tucson is a mixing pot of culture and style." |
| "I love the beauty and ecological diversity represented in the Sonoran desert. Being able to see wild spaces within the city and county boundaries in natural parks, green spaces and wildlife corridors makes the Tucson area and region feel a part of the Sonoran desert rather than an intrusion upon it." |
| "I have struggled to demonstrate that diversity is our greatest asset, not a liability, but the political pressures to divide our people are very hard to overcome" |
