2	(Drawing donut shape with hole) Good urban core - needs improvement -open spaces- nature - good
3	(Drawing of happy/sad face) Six months of "cool" weather
4	(Four drawings - bike, world, girl, heart) I like Tucson because Tucson is a great place to play. And because it is a beautiful place. And because there is ? bikes. And it is fun
5	. Viewsheds are one of our biggest assets here. That is what visitors always remark on. If that goes, then we are just another big city.
6	1:you dont need to have a car to go anywhere, save money; 2:protecting the environment.
7	3 out of 4 seasons
8	3-4 months of hell may be worth the 8-9 months of wonderful weather!
9	300 days of sunshine!!!!
10	300+ days of sunshine, outdoor activities, beautiful vistas and clean, crisp air make living in a vacation spot worthwhile.

13	365 days a year, Tucson's weather is almost always perfect compared to the rest of the United States on any particular day.
14	3a. The Sonoran Desert. 3b. It's not Phoenix.
15	3a. The area's beautiful environs-harsh and unforgiving but also glorious and sublime-are unique in this country. 3b. 'nuff said.
16	7 of 9 climatic zones from Tucson to Mt. Lemmon
17	8 months out of the year are very nice and the four months of intense heat are more tolerable because the city empties out. It feels like I form a bond with the people who stick out the Tucson summers.
18	9 months of some of the best temps in the country.
19	A bit warm in the heat of summer but it's not Phoenix or Needles! Winter is VERY nice.
20	A brief drive takes you into the mountains or the saguaro filled desert. I hate that we have construction crawling up the sides of our beautiful mountains, but at least we are not as bad as Phoenix yet.
21	A city that reflectsdiverse cultural and eductional choices offers a smorgasbord of learning, enlightenment, and enjoyment. A city with nearby open spaces and hiking trails offers and connection with the natural world that revitalizes our spirits and keeps the city crush in perspective.
22	A community needs to have time and money devoted to beauty
23	A dochotomy of sorts, while half the year is utterly oppressive and counter to community interaction, the fall/winter lends itself perfectly to community enhancement.
24	A great asset to the community that allows residents to enjoy the mountains and desert terrain.
25	A great climate that isn't as hot as some other areas in the southern half of the state. Great sunshine and moderate breezes
26	A healthy environment makes me feel healthier. Nature's beauty fills my spirit. I like being able to get away from other humans once in awhile and see the world beyond Tucson.
27	A high density of environmental non-profits
28	A huge part of our economic engine would be gone without it (tourists)
29	A large percentage of our local electricity comes from burning coal, which contributes directly to climate change and global warming. This human activity concerns me.
30	A location as beautiful as Tucson should be healthy vibrant and ALIVE! I have lived her for 12 years and have seen minimal changes that improve Tucson business and aesthetics.
31	A more inviting streetscape would be nice
32	A restriction on further development of the bases of the mountains
33	A sense of balance when one can commune so readily with nature.
34	A short ride away
35	A vibrant city center offers so many opportunities to take advantage of what nature gives us.
36	Ability to enjoy our natural environment 12 months a year. (Just have to go to Mt. Lemmon in the summer.)
37	Ability to exercise outdoors, not too much air pollution, enjoy beauty in desert around us, I love the desert and the great weather we enjoy

74	Accessibility to mtns & the Wildcats
75	Accessibility- easy to get to the desert, culture, etc.
76	Accessible wilderness
77	Acess to outdoors
78	Actually, I think some of the parks could use some upgrades for the heat. Some of the newer parks have shade coverings, splash areas, etc., but so many parks go unused in the summer b/c the equipment is just too hot and there is no way for children (or parents) to cool down.
79	Add more trees.
80	Addressing urban sprawl, water issues, beautification of the city. Worried about the long term sustainability of Tucson.
81	Adds to a spiritual, meditative environment
82	Advantages of warm weather year round
83	Aesthetically gorgeous area that provides a sense of freedom, reflection and connection to the natural world
84	Aesthetics of the city

86	Aethestic beauty of the surrounding mountains
87	Aethetically dramatic and soothing. Weather makes it an easy place to live.
88	Affinity with the desert and the mountains
89	After 15 years, I still find the mountains awe-inspiring. Our natural surroundings are beautiful and should be protected. I love to hike and I love to bike.
90	After 25 years of hustle bustle in Phoenix, it is so nice to be back home. More culture, more hispanic influence, beautiful environment (the surrounding mountains and recreation opportunitiies)...
91	After living and shoveling in Massachusetts for over 40 years, coming here and not having to worry about falling on ice, snow, cold...such a relief.
92	After majority of life in snow-belt, everything seems easier and more conducive to outdoor activity and events
93	Again, I like variety.
94	Again, supports a healthy lifestyle but offers a wide range of choice on activities (both outdoor physical and indoor mental stimulation through museums, etc.) that is not available anywhere else in this country.
95	Again, we have abundant sunshine, I appreciate that parts of the Tucson community are capitalizing on this resource. ( I only wish we would do even more!)
96	Ahhhh, to sit outside at 5 am on a spring day and sip your coffee and listen to the desert doves call out their desert song....total peace. To feel the early morn sun warm your propped up legs while you read a book....pure heaven.
97	Air quality - relating to transportation and the environment
98	Air, climate, nature
99	All museums. A mountain, canyons, and historical sites
100	All my physical activity I do out of doors. Hiking is a wonderful and free form of exercise. I love the scenery, the mild (for the most part) weather, and the clean air.
101	All of the parks, canyons and community regions
102	Allow people to move about the community more easily for both work and cultural activities and ease traffic congestion for everyone. Lack of transit makes too many people car dependent and is isolating and harmful to the natural beauty of the area.
103	Allows for a more casual lifestyle with lower stress
104	Allows for focus on healthy lifestyle which is supported by community events and activities at all times of the calendar year.
105	Allows many outdoor acitivites.
106	Allows us to enjoy the outdoors 365 days a yr
107	Allows us to live without the concerns of - Hurricanes, tornadoes, Allows us to live with sunshine, blue skies, beautiful desert.
108	Also, the landscape - you can drive up Mt. Lemmon (it's the proximity of different geographies)
109	Alternatives: grow plants on side of buildings; go underground
110	Although I feel that Tucson has lost the really small town feeling it had when I moved here 30+ years ago, it still retains some of that -- surprisingly so for a community of about 1 million. I think some of that feeling does come from a sense of place (in the natural world) and sense of long history that Tucson has. I have almost always lived within 3 miles of the University, so many of the neighborhoods I've lived in are older. I am glad that there is FINALLY some small efforts to revitalize downtown. I think more effort needs to be put into providing things downtown for Tucson residents, not just convention center visitors and snowbirds who come mostly Jan. through April. Don't revitalize downtown by getting rid of historic buildings, though. We don't need any more urban removal.
111	Although we are growing in size, Tucson still has a small town feel to it. No huge, tall buildings to block your view of the nights sky. Historic downtown Tucson.
112	Although we are in the desert, the close proximity to various mountain ranges makes Tucson special. Hiking and camping are 2 activities we enjoy and in Tucson, it is very convenient.
113	Although we have great weather, it still is cold in winter and hot in summer and activities inside are important.
114	Although we've had a tough year, overall, I really love the weather. So many sunny days really do help to keep my mood up, and I'm able to do more without worrying so much about rain and/or snow.
115	Although you can't prove it by this winter, the plentiful sunshine and warm weather is important to overall good health and wellness (both mentally & physically).
116	Always great
117	Always happy to come home
118	Always warm weather
119	Amazing Sonoran desert
120	Amazing mountains
121	Amazing training opportunities in the winter for cycling and running.
122	An appreciation of nature for everyone
123	An attractive natural environment makes me feel safer and happy.
124	An improving bicycle infrastructure and mild climate make it easy to get around and commute to work without a car. It makes my life much simpler.
125	An overbuilt environment causes flooding
126	Animals
127	Animals native to Tucson
128	Another environmental importance here. Why are we still using traditional forms of energy when we have sun 350 days of the year. Why are we continuing to spread our city out, which creates greater dependence on fossil fuels for cars, when we should be infilling? Why don't we have policy that limits lighted sign times (in other words, why is Office Max's sign still on at 3am)? It's personally important because I have to breathe the air and take in the unfiltered sunshine.
129	Anywhere in town and surrounding region one needs a camera as the light and magic pop out in unexpected places
130	Appearance of landscape
131	Appreciating and taking care of nature
132	Appreciation and conservation of God's beautiful creation is a priority for me.
133	Are the mountains and vistas
134	Area is dimensional (desert, mountains, UA)
135	Area is everchanging (sky scenes), has personality
136	Area is newer, fresher, brighter, dramatic
137	Area is visually uplifting and unique (as well as challenging)
138	Arizona is has a highly varied topography, all of which are easily accessible. It is also close to Mexico, the beaches of So. Cal, and the mountains of NM, CO, Utah.
139	Arizona-Sonora Desert Musuem
140	Arts, culture, history & beautiful environment
141	Arts, culture, nature
142	As I age, this weather makes my life easier
143	As a landscape architect that has relocated here from the East, I find the environment of Tucson highly unique and worth protecting. I find the Tucson community generally understanding and respectful of the desert environment.
144	As a landscape photographer, biker and climber, close, easy access to the desert and the mountains is a primary recreational and therapeutic asset.
145	As a mobility impaired person, weather has always been important to my ability to get around.
146	As a person suffering with arthritis, the warm and dry climate appeals to me. I don't like to be restricted by snowfall and the cleanup.
147	As a person with arthritis, the warm weather here is a godsend.
148	As a retiree from San Diego, I chose Tucson because of the affordability in housing, in 2005. I liked the breathtaking mountain views and being able to buy a beautiful home for a third of what it cost in CA.
149	As an Arizona native, I respond to the natural beauty of our region. The more I learn about Tucson, Arizona and the Southwest, the more intrigued I am. Some many fascinating people lived or passed through here - indigenous people, New Spain explorers, U.S. military service people both past and present, frontier residents, artists and other creative people.
150	As an amateur astronomer, I appreciate the dark skies, U of A, and proximity to Kitt Peak.
151	As beautiful as Tucson's natural beauty is it is equally remarkable for the many, many eyesores around the city particuarly in areas where there are people who 'are NOT' of 'money'. You don't see the trash, graffit, potholes in the old residential roads in places like the FootHills. Why do we see so much of that outside the 'ring of privilege'?
152	As encroachment continues with new homes being built, finding workable means to safeguard the wildlife is important. Our beautiful desert deserves to be preserved and protected.
153	As mentioned in No. 1, the weather, and lack of 'natural disasters' makes Tucson a great place to live.
154	As part of the Sky Islands, and the sonoran desert, we are situated in an extremely unique, amazing environment.
155	As time goes on, I find less and less visually appealing areas of town.
156	Aside from a few weeks of intense heat, there is very little to worry about seasonally or with regards to earthquake, tornadoes, hurricanes, or blizzards.
157	Astronomy
158	At my age, I do not like cold weather or cloudy days
159	At night you can see the stars
160	At the end of the day, I find peace within the beautiful environment.
161	Atmosphere in regards to the night sky
162	Attracts others who appreciate it, who are like-minded
163	Attracts tourism

167	Awe inspiring
168	Awesome opportunities for change in climate - hiking, camping, family time
169	Awesome skiing and mountain recreation
170	Backpacking and hiking.
171	Barring the high temperature and blazing sun in the summer months, the availability of clean and safe bike paths and sidewalks allows me and my family to get out and exercise. These designated paths are well traveled, and so it feels safe to use them. Also, I often encounter the same people while I'm out and about, which allows me to get to know my neighbors.
172	Basis for our quality of life: the views, the botanical environment, it generates our land values and contributes to our economy. You've got to live somewhere, and you should love it. The environment makes me love it here
173	Be able to enjoy it - always able to get out into the mountains
174	Beat back buffelgrass!

290	Because it helps me maintain a positive attitude. I love to relax and take walks. The climate in the winter is the best in the world
291	Because it is a typical element of the area and it does not require special arrangements

305	Because we are destroying habitat and tapping our resources to get water and sewage to remote places that should not be occuppied
306	Because we are in the desert water is very important. To have water incorporated in the downtown or Rillito would be great
307	Because we do not get much rain, air pollution is a bad problem here. it is causinf me health issues and cause trouble for my friends. it is also ugly to to dsee the reuced visibility when looking at our mountains.
308	Because we don't have drastically cold weather
309	Before moving here, I would often walk for exercise at local parks. In Tucson, I don't feel safe doing this by myself, and the parks are not very beautiful or serene.
310	Being a recent (Oct. 2010) transplant from Chicago area, the lack of snow and bitter cold has been most enjoyable. Also, the presence of sunshine almost every day contributes to me having a better outlook and being in an overall better mood.
311	Being able to be outdoors most of the year is not only pleasant, but it fosters community. (See answer to #1 above). I moved from Seattle and the people there may have been great, but we were always running indoors from the weather, so I never got to know my neighbors the way I did (really fast!) in Tucson.
312	Being able to be outdoors so often throughout the year is so important
313	Being able to be outside enjoying the environment
314	Being able to be outside every day of the year is important to me. Sunny skies, warm weather and endless days of blue are a good thing.
315	Being able to be outside throughout the year
316	Being able to drive any were you want ride and enjoy the outdoors
317	Being able to enjoy the sun 360+ days a year--outside
318	Being able to get outside and have fun is super important. We have a lot of great things we can do outside, but we could use more. We need more shade, though.
319	Being able to go from hot to cold in a very shorrt time is nice
320	Being able to hike, the plants.
321	Being able to lots of outdoor activities most of the year.
322	Being able to see the mountains everywhere i look...small buildings to allow me to do this
323	Being able to sit in 100+ degrees and drive 40 minutes and it is 70 with a breeze with views you can not find any where else
324	Being able to spend non-commercialized time with my children in a natural setting. Continue the push for linear River paths.
325	Being active, healthy, being constantly reminded of what a beautiful world we live in--and that we can never take it for granted.
326	Being bored and stuck inside is unfortunate. There needs to be opportunity to go out and enjoy nice days without driving to Mt. Lemmon or hiking
327	Being from around this area, I find it the most beautiful
328	Being from the midwest, I like the weather here in Tucson because one can go putside and be active most days of the year.
329	Being homeless in the cold sucks, mountains are beautiful
330	Being in the southwest
331	Being mindful of the natural world is good for the soul and good for the planet.
332	Being outdoors is critical to me, so having easy access to trails, mountains, and wilderness is key to my quality of life. Without it I would leave
333	Being outside and enjoying nature is important to me. I moved here to be outside more, and I've come to enjoy my daily walks and hikes in the area.
334	Being raised in New England, I really enjoy the winters of sunshine and all the outdoor events.
335	Being ringed by mountains is a true asset. Being able to go from the warm desert floor to cool mountains is a rare gift. Our sunny, warm days are far superior to months of cold, dreary weather.
336	Being surrounded by mountains
337	Besides the sunshine, I realy love the extreme weather here in Tucson.
338	Best Weather hands down
339	Best in the nation all year and good for health.
340	Best weather in the country

347	Better protection of our desert and its species
348	Better stewardship of the desert/natural resources
349	Better transportation so that there are less cars on the road and less deserts bulldozed
350	Beutification of the city.
351	Big sky
352	Big sky and beautiful mountains
353	Big views of the sky and warm climate
354	Bigger cities, mountains, lakes, and even oceans are within driving distance.
355	Bigger is not better. In order to protect the natural environment, assure that we have enough water, food, and energy for the people who already live here, we must rethink our attitude toward growth. No more expansion into the desert, no more subsidies for developers. Change the focus to sustainability, and if the community shrinks ... good.
356	Bike boulevards are the only way to make Tucson bike friendly. Tucson's weather lets us bike year round.
357	Bike friendliness - bike lanes - winter weather
358	Biking is the most viable alternative mode of transporation. Gardens will reconnect our community to healthy food and each other.
359	Biodiversity
360	Biodiversity of native plants and animals, majestic sunsets, gorgeous mountain ranges, 360 days of sunshine, awesome canyons, and hiking trails to enjoy.
361	Bird watching

366	Bonito
367	Breath-taking environment
368	Breathing and beautiful vistas
369	Bright blue skies, mild winters, low humidity
370	Bring native plants back – make the wetlands an asset – community water and recreation paths
371	Brings an environment of connection to the land, independence and a commitment to maintaining history
372	Brings in tourism and money
373	Brings tourism (especially this year with all the snow elsewhere)
374	Broad range of educational, cultural and natural choices
375	Buffelgrass and other invasive species are threatening the native desert; need to protect Saguaro National Park and other areas to ensure resources are preserved for future generations
376	Build infill projects and do not rezone desert for housing

464	Climate change is upon us and we are really dragging our feet in the interest of old ways, entrenched economic power and lack of great enough initatives. We must mitigate the effects of climate change.
465	Climate change will add to the problem

505	Comfortable and dry most of the year. Wonderful winter weather normally.
506	Comfortable pace
507	Comfortable year round
508	Coming from Canada I appreciate the warm winters and the sunshine and being able to be outside almost all year long. Phoenix is too big and too hot and Tucson is a more comfortable size and has all the amenities and quick access to the outdoors.
509	Coming from Massachusetts, which has a collective cold feeling from every resident there, much like the weather, people in Tucson actually look at you when you walk by and smile even say hello. And huggers? wow, you don't get that in MA.
510	Coming from Ohio and the lake effect cold makes living in Tucson in the winter wonderful
511	Coming from Oregon, let's see grey skies and rain vs. beautiful blue skies and sunshine...go figure!

513	Coming from the midwest I was tired of the 'flat' lands.
514	Community can come together to preserve the environment
515	Community is a place, but more importantly it is where people live together. When a community can embrace a wide range of incomes, interests, and activities it is truly a rich community. Where else could I go to watch horses race where quarter horse racing began and then to hear the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. Tucson, I hope, will always keep one foot firmly in the horse/chicken/desert world and the other in classic culture, art theatre, music, all underpinned by an excellent educational system for all.
516	Community support for homeless animals and spay/neuter causes.
517	Community's view changing from wide open West to modern urban setting
518	Community, schools and natural beauty are what brings people to Vail. Not everyone values education.

531	Contributes to the lifestyle - spending time outdoors
532	Control development in desert areas
533	Control of political signs (which spoil the landscape)
534	Convenience and pollution. Roads are more and more crowded. There is little ease in getting from one side of town to the other. Also, there is little apparent thought about making Tucson pedestrian-friendly. With the climate we have, sidewalks should encourage walking, not being so narrow and unattractive.
535	Cooler than Phoenix

731	Even in the coldest part of the year I can hike and have a great experience
732	Even though I grew up in a big city, or maybe because I did, I especially enjoy nature. The desert and mountain environment here is a constant source of comfort and pleasure.
733	Even though is gets flipping hot in the summer, the rest of the year is pretty enjoyable.
734	Even though it's cold right now, it's nothing compared to snow and ice all over the country
735	Even though it's hot in Tucson and Pima county I enjoyed this weather.
736	Even we have hot summer I love Tucson climate

739	Ever changing beautiful hiking elevation changes are incredible
740	Ever changing depending on time of day and time of year
741	Ever growing (sub)urban sprawl destroying the desert
742	Every evening when the sun sets, if the sun is hitting the mountains at a right angle, the mountains glow red.
743	Every time I leave the house I look at the Catalina Mountains and enjoy their beauty. I don't have much of a view of them from my home, so I definitely enjoy them when I am driving somewhere.
744	Every time I leave, to go on vacation or to a conference for example, I miss the feeling of being surrounded by our mountain cradle. Sometimes the sense of claustraphopia of dense trees or the complete lack of land features rising to block the horizon in other parts of our country is overwhelming. I can feel my body relax as the plane flies into the valley over the pass or across Sentinel Peak when I know that I am back home.
745	Everyone wants their personal views of the mountains, this results in sprawl
746	Everything about the desert is dear to me and I love being able to witness the wildlife among the desert plants in open spaces and even in my own back yard.
747	Everything under 100 degrees.
748	Everywhere in Tucson has preservation of the wildlife and desert plants, which makes the city unique
749	Excellent climate brings people to our state. Our state has diverse climate. Sun, snow, 4 season, etc.
750	Excellent!
751	Except for a few really hot days every year, we have pretty uneventful weather and you can't beat the spring and fall temps!
752	Except for the dead of summer, we can venture outside for hikes, jogs, games etc. almost whenever we want to. Our weather gives a type of freedom.
753	Except for the summer (obviously) weather is moderate most of the time. Very little rain, moderate temperatures, no snow or freezing temperatures (rarely)
754	Exercise, beautiful scenery, fun.
755	Exquisite, unique biological richness; fragility of an arid ecosystem; community amenity values; binational Sonoran Desert includes both desert, alpine mountaintops, wetlands (Cienega de Santa Clara), and coast (Sea of Cortez)! What an amazing mix! Parallels cultural diversity!
756	Extraordinary Setting
757	Extremes are no too severe but more rainfall would be nice to build up water tables
758	Eyesore & dangerous.

768	Fantastic views, outdoor opportunities
769	Farmer's markets and quilt classes, free concerts in beautiful parks and a glorious old cathedral, symphony and bluegrass, gem show shopping, street fair, college sports, baseball du jour, great places to walk. Randolph/Reid Park, including Parks & Rec classes, and Sabino Canyon. A neighborhood without lights or sidewalks where I can admire the stars and feel like I'm in a small town.

771	Feeling connected to your surroundings
772	Fell in love with it

777	Flora and fauna diversity and outdoor recreation
778	Folks stay pretty upbeat and happy -- can't beat that anywhere.
779	For 8 months of the year it is good weather to do things outside.
780	For an arid desert, Tucson is beautiful and the nature is partially what drew me here
781	For health reasons and my family is here
782	For health reasons and touring
783	For inspiration, relaxation, and excercise
784	For many years, people have moved to Tucson because of allergies. because of the planting of foreign plants in the region, it's becoming difficult for people to live asthma-free
785	For me it is important to have places relatively close to get out of the city in the the desert
786	For my life to be in balance, I need time in nature and the access to mountains and desert preserves makes Tucson an ideal location for me.
787	For so many years, the focus has been on growth--often at the expense of the people who already live here. I would I like to see the community focus on how we might all work together to make life better for all of us in a way that doesn't depend upon attracting more people, selling more houses, destroying more desert.
788	For work, recreation, leisure, entertaining out of towners and overall quality of life the weather impacts our mental health as well as our physical well being. The absence of natural disasters like earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, floods and extremes in weather.
789	Forest covered mountain at 9,000 ft+ within an hour from town. Range from desert to mountains. Wonderful weather.
790	Fortunately, my job calls for only casual attire that is far less expensive than wardrobes required in big cities. No need to buy coats, boots, & many sweaters. Heating bills are lower than in colder areas. The dry climate helps my asthmatic condition.
791	Fragility of the natural environment should motivate us to plan better
792	Freedom and serenity of the SW outdoors.
793	Freedom to pursue activities out of doors, except in summer.
794	Fresh air is good for the soul
795	Friendly atmosphere
796	From mountains to riverways to watchable wildlife the Tucson area offers a myriad of outdoor opportunities which I highly value and enjoy. Plus, there is always something outdoors to enjoy no matter what time of year!
797	From my home I am excited every day by the changing views of the Catalina Mountains.
798	From my house I can access the Rillito River Park and love to bike and run there. I can also walk or ride to many nearby parks with my child. I can easily get to beautiful hikes in the Catalinas and take day trips to amazing places in southern AZ. The way the mountains surround our region provides a protective and serene feeling that I have found no other place. Plus the lush desert is amazing. Oh, and the weather is good.
799	From the surrounding mountains, to desert landscapes, fabulous sunsets, stargazing. Everywhere you look there is something of interest
800	Gardening capability
801	Generally good weather
802	Generally good weather in the winter

814	Geography/weather
815	Geography: I Love the views, the mountains, and the wild life that roams free.
816	Geography: senic mountains & great weather
817	Geological features of the valley.
818	Get away from cars for environmental reasons, make the transit system work better
819	Get back to nature
820	Get outside the walls of your house
821	Get youth more interactive with nature (no video games)
822	Getting around, especially on mountain to mountain bikepaths across the valley are the things that attract the talent that tech companies will follow to Tucson
823	Getting people outside forces people to value Tucson and nature which leads to compassion
824	Given Tucson's climate, it is possible to ride you rbike most every day. I wish there were more off the street bike avenues/lanes/paths. This would really contribute to my quality of life. Biking is great you can meet many of your transportion needs in this climate and get good exercise and enjoymentat the same time. I ride my bike to work and to do many of my errands, but, the biggest obstacle to doing more is safety and and the availability of convenient, safe bike routes.
825	Given our great weather for most of the year, there are a number of outdoor activities that available. From ultimate frisbee, soccer, and softball, to hiking, climbing, cycling and running. It's all right here at our fingertips.
826	Given our ideal climate, we should be developing alternate forms of transportation. Walkways, bike trails, light rail, improved bus system
827	Given that Tucson is situated in one of the sunniest regions of the country, I find it inexcusable that we lack viable solar-powered transportation - or even better bike lanes to encourage people to drive less.
828	Given the weather, the geography, the popularity of biking, we should have DEDICATED bike roads (like the ones in Holland) criss-crossing the city. A truly progressive city should optimize its capabilities for non-emissions transport!
829	Gives me a sense of peace, connection to the universe. I love looking at the stars at night, seeing wildlife, getting next to 'green' away from the built environment.
830	Gives my children and other kids the chance to see different animals
831	Gives my family the opportunity to do more outdoor activities year round.
832	Go up Mt. Lemmon or to Finger Rock - nature allows for balance from uglier parts of Tucson
833	God creations. Everywhere I look I see the beauty.
834	Goegraphic setting
835	Goes to our identity as a community
836	Going to the mountains
837	Golf courses use lots of water. The rest of us are constantly exhorted to use less water, reuse grey water, and catch and use rain water. Just because a person can afford the water, does not mean they are more entitled to use it. For heaven's sake, we live in the desert!

897	HOT WEATHER (SUMMER)
898	Habitat preservation
899	Hands-on, active, outside service projects - combining good weather and the need for activity= a good idea to help blighted areas of the city
900	Hardly ever snows. Thanks to my retired status, I can mostly avoid the heat.

912	Having beautiful views of the Catalinas makes me feel at home. I am a Tucson Native.
913	Having grown up in Massachusetts, it is a pleasure to me to be able to wake up and see the mountains. The sunsets and sunrises here are unforgettable and incomparable to those elsewhere in the country. Hikes and trails are easy to locate and access.
914	Having lived in 'luscious' natural areas, the desert has a detailed account of God's creation.
915	Having lived in less hospitable climates
916	Having migrated here from Ohio and a gloomier, colder climate nearly 30 years ago I find I have never stopped appreciating the fact that it is rare that we have to structure our plans around the weather
917	Having mountains all around us gives endless opportunity to hike and bike.
918	Having nature available improves quality of life
919	Having the ability to exercise in the outdoors without concern about weather on most days is important to my health and mental well-being.

969	Human scaled environment (experiential)
970	Humans need to be near natural places
971	I CANT LIVE IN COLD CLIMATE
972	I CAN`T AFFORD TO WATER TREES AND I QUIT GROWING GRASS BECAUSE THE RATES ARE SKY HIGH AND I AM ON SS
973	I FREEZE AT 70 DEGREES SO THE HOTTER THE BETTER.
974	I Have 3 degrees in Biology and I am an environmentalist and Love the desert and mountains of Arizona.
975	I I love the weather, and the plants and animals unique to the Tucson region.
976	I I would beautify the community wherever possible.
977	I LIKE THE HEAT. WISH WINTER MONTHS WERE WARMER
978	I The views of the mountains, the desert landscape, and even the landscaping of people's homes shows respect for the desert environment, such as an emphasis on water conservation for example.
979	I actually love the weather here. I come from Seattle originally and lived in northern California for 17 years. I like it warm
980	I ahte cold weather! I've looked at the Catalinas for 50 years and still am fascinated and madly in love with them.
981	I am (and my family is) a physically active person and love sports. Our climate supports that and our tie to UA Athletics is stong in many sports (basketball, football, softball, swimming and diving, golf, etc.)
982	I am 84 years old, have arthritis and not inclined to fight the cold, ice, snow of the more northerly cities.
983	I am a Tucson Native, been all over the US..No place else has the same setting..the ease to be in the outdoors, away from the hustle and bustle of work..
984	I am a desert rat and love the warm, hot weather. I enjoy outdoor sports and can participate year round. Winter sports are only a 4 hour drive away.
985	I am a devout believer and proponent of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan.
986	I am a teacher, and after a week of the classroom/school lifestyle having my little piece of the desert which invites the wildlife so close that I can almost feel their breath... this pleases me deeply.
987	I am a vegetation ecologist and when I graduated from college I moved here specifically because I like the natural plants that grow here. I think it is critical to preserve Tucson's unique sense of place thorugh landscaping with native plants and preservation of natural open space.
988	I am a very active person and having different options to enjoy the outdoors is important to me
989	I am able to ride my bike or walk throughout the year and don't have to drive much as a result
990	I am active and enjoy the outdoors. I like to run, bike and golf.
991	I am always surrounded by nature
992	I am an active person that likes to engage in nature and the outdoors. I bike, hike, run, and kayak. So my surroundings in very important.
993	I am an avid dog walker and bike commuter. I appreciate our warm dry weather. Our mountains are beautiful.
994	I am an avid environmentalist. This part of AZ is a treasure trove.
995	I am an outdoor fanatic, whether I am landscaping, biking or taking a walk, the weather in Tucson is wonderful.
996	I am an outdoors person and enjoy the access to the catalina mountains, the desert and the healthy lifestyle.
997	I am constantly taken aback by the beauty of the 'cut out' back drops of the mountains surrounding this city. It is breath-taking to me. Although, the open spaces are dwindling and the bases of the mountains are being built upon, there still exists a feeling of openness and space. Perhaps due to the city being so spread out, I do not feel overly crowded and incumbered by fellow city dwellers.
998	I am deeply concerned about our attitudes about water--i.e. that water is overallocated in the Colorado River basin and all of that goes toward human use. Our rivers are drying up and with that, our livability. Functioning river systems and aquifers are absolutely essential to community livability: they contribute to flood control; water filtration and cleaning; robust vegetation which in turn supplies oxygen and combats the urban heat island effect; amenity values; wildlife habitat; recreation opportunities; spiritual values; and finally, sense of place. We need to stop talking about the environment (and our desert rivers) as something we can afford to sacrifice.
999	I am extremely interested in the interrelationship between people and their environment, and Tucson has provided an oasis for human habitation over thousands of years, involving a variety of adaptations to life in the desert.
1000	I am from WI- winter weather is nice
1001	I am from the midwest and seeing those mountains every morning is fantastic
1002	I am happier in a warm open blue sky environment.
1003	I am inspired by the natural beauty that I can see even when trapped in an urban environment.
1004	I am not a fan of the cold. I grew up in Michigan and did not enjoy the extremely cold winters.
1005	I am one of the many people who have come here from other areas of the United States. I enjoy the mostly sunny region. If I feel the need to go where is it cooler - it is just 1 hour away!
1006	I am sick of developers filling up our foothills with more and more new construction for rich mid westerners to move in and buy and add yet more swimming pools to their back yards when water is so scarce. I am also sick of these rich homeowners bellyaching about bears, snakes, bobcats and lions in their foothill backyards. Just where are these animals supposed to go when their habitats are full of swimming pools???
1007	I am very badly affected by grey skies and need bright light.
1008	I an go from the desert to the pine forrest in 30 mins.
1009	I appreciate Tucson's dark sky initiative, desert conservation plan, bright starts, multitude of hiking trails and outdoor activities in the Catalina mountains.
1010	I appreciate beauty.
1011	I appreciate having a beautiful world around me, which revitalizes me, balances out against the stress of the day
1012	I appreciate not having to shovel snow, or worry about slipping on ice.
1013	I appreciate the ability to interact with this amazing landscape and environment. The ability to be in one of the best locations for an astronomy buff is amazing as well.
1014	I appreciate the closeness to the mountains, lakes, and reachable distance to California and the ocean. I am a native Arizonan from Phoenix with family members throughout Arizona and California. The tennis, hiking, biking and walking weather is ideal for me!
1015	I appreciate the fact that we have not built on every piece of land, like they have in Sedona. If we did that I would not want to be here as the natural beauty is part of its charm for me.
1016	I appreciate warm weather over cold
1017	I arrived here in 1977. I fell in love with the desert. Now, I have to look really hard to see the desert town I fell in love with. Let's encourage preserving the southwestern flair of Tucson.
1018	I associate quiet with privacy, 'the right most prized by civilized men' Cardozo
1019	I believe beauty enhances my spiritual growth
1020	I believe more should be done to curb sprawl. If we don't, it will continue further and further, leading to more degredation of the environment.
1021	I believe that more southwestern architeture will help to define the kind of City that we are, will add to the beauty of our City and will prevent skycraper buildings from ever being designed or built here!
1022	I believe the weather affects your mood. It is usually sunny and warm and I love it
1023	I came from a cold climate, so I enjoy the warmer winter. The summer is a little harder to cope with.
1024	I came from a little hometown in Dunkirk, NY. It is 45 miles west of Buffalo, NY. I don't miss the cold weather
1025	I came from cold and rain
1026	I came from locations where winter was very cold and had gotten sick of the cold and decided to find somewhere warmer to live and I liked Arizona the best and most especially the Tucson area.
1027	I came from the East Coast and value the ability to enjoy the outdoors and sunshine most of the year and to learn about the rich variety of plants and animals here.
1028	I came here from Chicago! I love Tucson's weather most of the year.
1029	I came here from Iowa in 1963 from one of the worst Winters the area ever had. Tucson was hot in August when we arrived, but not humid. The Winters were superb, and still are.
1030	I came here from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If I never see another snowflake again it'll be too damn soon!
1031	I camp a lot and love the weather/scenery around Mt. Lemmon
1032	I camp, hike, shoot. Can be in remote areas in an hour, hour and a half.
1033	I can access the natural environment easily in a number of ways - hiking, driving, viewing
1034	I can be in the mountains or the deserts along with the wildlife and views that go with that.
1035	I can be out doors every day. The desert environment is very attractive to me
1036	I can be outdoors and enjoy our wonderful weather practicly 12 monthes a year
1037	I can be outdoors nearly 300 days out of the year. The panoramic view of the mountains; seeing a colorful team of cyclist on the road; the beauty of the desert; the spectacular canyons and trails; and the wildlife - all take ones breath away.
1038	I can easily take my family to a number of really great places to show them the ecological diversity and beauty that surrounds us.
1039	I can enjoy the outdoors year 'round, I hardly ever get sick, I rarely have to worry about driving in difficult weather, I don't have to deal with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, blizzards, ice storms, mudslides, etc...and when the weather is 'rough' here, we have air conditioning.
1040	I can find serenity and peace from the realities of my daily job and life in these easily accessible places. The most lovely of places is a 20 minute drive from my house. Tucson is surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountains and deserts I have ever traveled to - they are in my 'backyard'.
1041	I can get outside and hike, bike ride or work on projects most of the time with little concern about the weather.
1042	I can go from downtown Tucson to the middle of pristine desert in 10 minutes for hiking, biking, and wildlife watching.
1043	I can go outside and do something
1044	I can have an outdoor garden, go for a hike, ride a bike, walk or run with family or friends, swim outdoors, and not deal with many environmental disasters common to other parts of the country.
1045	I can relax and enjoy the evenning after work in the patio
1046	I can see all sorts of wild life roaming wherever I am. Coyotes, javelina, bobcats, etc. along with a large variety of birds
1047	I can see our beautiful mountains from anywhere in town.
1048	I can't stand being cold
1049	I can't take cold weather very well and the beautiful weather in Tucson makes it an ideal place to live.
1050	I cannot stand the cold, and the high summer is still okay to walk around in
1051	I cant stand the sprawl I see when leaving town. The desert landscape being turned into clumped up cookie cutter homes that are far removed from food, work, or any other neccessities. this requires people to drive more, which requires bigger road to unclog traffic, etc. Lets be smarter about this people. Also, I hate seeing old buildings being torn down for no reason. I have seen several building be torn down only to leave an empty and ugly hole in the ground or dirt lot. I have lived in Tucson for about 8 years and the sprawl I have seen is simply not smart and not sustainable. And the demolition seems like a waist. Examples: The WMCA/Muse center for the arts on 6th st, the Sangin building, etc.
1052	I choose Tucson over NY for a job because it was warm here.
1053	I come from a humid climate, accentuated by cold in winter and heat in summer. I love the dry climate that makes the heat easier and the cold bearable.
1054	I come from the midwest and to me the mountains are just beautiful to look at!!!!
1055	I come from the midwest, where the weather during the winter months is unpleasant. it is nice to be able to do things outside year-round.
1056	I consider moving to more progessive communities/states, but know I'll miss the sunshine and mild (except jun-aug) weather.
1057	I derive much of my sanity and personal pleasure from hiking, camping, backpacking, cycling, etc. and Tucson's environmental and geographical diversity is wonderful for fulfilling all those activities.
1058	I didn't like having my mobility determined by ice, snow fall, or high humidity.
1059	I do love seeing the Catalina Mountains every day, but am dismayed that the houses are creeping up the slopes.
1060	I do not do well in a climate that has too much cold, rain, snow, sleet, etc.
1061	I do not every want to see a highway through the city, even if many think it will help. It will only take away the view. We need more up to date transporation modes like a light way train on Speedway and Oracle to help more people commute than using cars.
1062	I do not like being cold. Ever.
1063	I do not like cold or snow and I love gardening and hiking and sitting on my back patio all year.
1064	I do not like cold weather, coming originally from new England. I appreciate the almost constant sunshine too.

1066	I do not like shoveling snow.
1067	I do not like snow and contstand overcast skies, love the mountains and open vistas and hiking trails available so much of the year
1068	I do not like snow or ice and Tucson is great to avoid it.
1069	I do not like the cold.
1070	I do not like the snow
1071	I do not like to go to bed with cold feet. Most of the year this is not a problem, except this winter.
1072	I don't have a huge amount of free time, so when I get a chance to do something for myself, I like to make the most of it. Tucson is loaded with great options that are affordable even on my tiny salary. From hiking in the mountains to checking out great restaurants to catching a movie at the Loft, it's hard to imagine being bored here. And with Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon and San Diego within driving distance, it's easy to get away for a few days to do something amazing without breaking the bank.
1073	I don't have to shovel snow in the winter.
1074	I don't like being cold
1075	I don't like being cold.
1076	I don't like cold climates and I like the diversity of plants and animals in the Sonoran desert.
1077	I don't like cold rainy days. Snow is a 4 letter word. Ha.
1078	I don't like cold weather.
1079	I don't like cold weather. Have lived in Canada, Colorado, Wyoming, North Carolina - all these have their beauty, but they don't have the great weather Tucson has.
1080	I don't like cold, snow, tornadoes
1081	I don't like extreme cold weather
1082	I don't like snow and ice and I don't mind heat. Bad weather cramps my style.
1083	I don't like snow or excessive rain.
1084	I don't like snow, tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes. I don't like cold, I don't like the 'urban jungle' and pollution. I like it sunny and warm, I like the occasional thunderstorm, wide open desert, cleark skies, high mountains and spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
1085	I don't like the cold weather. Tucson has more good days of sunny weather and that suits me the best.
1086	I don't like the cold!
1087	I don't like the cold.
1088	I don't like the cold. I am not a big outdoor person but having a few months a year to have windows open and no artificial cool or heat is great.
1089	I don't like the colder weather, but have finally gotten to the point where it's too hot here in the summers for me.
1090	I don't like the snow
1091	I don't like to be cold. The winters are not too bad and I love the rest of the year.
1092	I don't like to bundle up in the winter
1093	I don't like to shovel my weather
1094	I don't likew the cold, and the weather allows me to exercise outdoors for most of the year.
1095	I don't own a lawn mower, or a snow shovel
1096	I don't really like cold weather, driving in snow, etc.
1097	I don't shovel snow.
1098	I don't want Tucson to turn into another Phoenix with its sprawl, lack of respect for the desert and its water concerns.
1099	I don't want to drive in snow &/or ice.
1100	I don't want to live in a clone of the nation's fifth largest metropolitan area (Phoenix). I don't want the sprawl, the congestion, the traffic or the disconnect from the natural world that I believe characterize Phoenix. Let's not lose the uniqueness of Tucson while trying to be like the Big Sister who lives up north.
1101	I dont like cold weather so Tucson's climate attracts me. Also the surrounding mountains and cacti are beautiful.
1102	I enjoy beautiful scenery so naturally I'd like to live near a beautiful area. I also like the idea that you can be in the desert and then, while driving up to Mount Lemmon, drive through several other life communities.
1103	I enjoy being a bike traveler and I have for many years used my bike as my primary mode of transport. Not only is Tucson well suited for this because of the climate, but also because of the mostly adequate network of bike lanes and bike routes. Plus, lots and lots of people bike places so it is not unusual to show up somewhere on your bike.
1104	I enjoy being able to drive 5 miles and be in the desert with no city noise
1105	I enjoy being able to leave the city and developed areas and spend time outdoors. Places like Tucson Mountain Park, Saguaro National Park, and the mountain ranges surrounding the city (Catalinas, Santa Ritas, etc.)
1106	I enjoy being around people who enjoy life, living and the great outdoors.
1107	I enjoy being out in nature,especially with our great weather here, and the abundance and easy accessibility of trails or paths makes that very easy to do, with little travel time involved.

1112	I enjoy engaging in outdoor activities and the weather we have is perfect for everything I do.
1113	I enjoy getting up each day and seeing the glorious mountains. Their proximity and beauty provide a grounding that stays with me during the day. The subtle beauty of the desert gives me a sense of place and an appreciation for nature's ability to adapt to challenges.
1114	I enjoy golf, and in most places, thats's not possible during the winter and early spring. There are unlimited outdoor activities here year-round.
1115	I enjoy having Javelinas and coyotes in the desert areas surrounding us.
1116	I enjoy hiking and biking on the trails in the Tucson mountains, Catalina mountains, and Rincon mountains. Keeping a variety of trails open to mountain biking is important to me since I use these trails a lot. We also enjoy bringing our dogs to trails that are open to them to allow them to appreciate the trails as well.
1117	I enjoy hiking and enjoying nature
1118	I enjoy hiking, birding, being out in nature
1119	I enjoy hiking, camping, and kayaking--can indulge these passions 12 months out of the year.
1120	I enjoy how the wildlife is at your feet almost every where you go, and how nice it is to see the vierty of animals every day.
1121	I enjoy living in the desert. Many people of Tucson have committed to xeriscaping. I like that it does not look like Phoenix.
1122	I enjoy mild weather.
1123	I enjoy outdoor recreation and wildlife (main hobby)
1124	I enjoy playing soccer yearround. I am happy in sunshine.
1125	I enjoy running, hiking, gardening, and the sun year round. I like being able to get out of the built environment quickly to the desert, mountains, and even to the ocean fairly easily.
1126	I enjoy spending time at the higher elevations with different plants, climate, and animals.
1127	I enjoy spending time in the desert and mountains surrounding Tucson because I love the natural beauty of the landscape.

1129	I enjoy spending time outside on the hill slopes of the mountains surrounding the city.
1130	I enjoy stepping out in the mornings and evenins to see the contrasting views of the mountains that surround our valley
1131	I enjoy the ability to be able to easily get out of town and enjoy the sonoran desert. specifically I enjoy virtually all outdoor activities. cycling, hiking ,golf, hunting, fishing. just being outside. I like our climate, most of the time, I enjoy both inside and outside living space within our home and office. our climate is ideal for indoor / outdoor living
1132	I enjoy the chance to be outdoors most of the year. The air is clean, the mountains are beautiful and life is better outdoors.
1133	I enjoy the climate all year round even in the summer
1134	I enjoy the climate and wearing casual clothing.
1135	I enjoy the desert plants and animals

1137	I enjoy the hiking, mountains, parks and Sabino Canyon.
1138	I enjoy the lush dessert, mesquite trees, mountains, blue skies, and spring wild flowers
1139	I enjoy the medium range days very much when a person can do just about anything they wish.
1140	I enjoy the natural areas in/around tucson. Stop development of all existing natural areas, and preserve them.
1141	I enjoy the natural beauty of the desert. The cactus, animals, plants, the whole package. Love to hike, bike ride and car ride in desert areas.
1142	I enjoy the not so hot and not so cold days. The plants bloom beautifully.
1143	I enjoy the openness of our city and the balance of a city in the desert with the opportunities to see and enjoy nature. We are not a concrete jungle in the desert but a city integrated into the desert.
1144	I enjoy the outdoors and having good weather obviously helps.
1145	I enjoy the outdoors and living here enables outdoor activity almost without fail.
1146	I enjoy the outdoors, specifically mountain biking and hiking.
1147	I enjoy the proximity to mountains, lakes and the natural desert settings that we live in.
1148	I enjoy the southwest style of architecture. It helps make Tucson unique in appearance and works well with our southwest climate.
1149	I enjoy the sunshine
1150	I enjoy the views of the land scape
1151	I enjoy the warmer weather, lack of snow, and dry climate
1152	I enjoy the weather here in Tucson because its never to hot for you to not go swimming, and never to cold to not warm up.
1153	I enjoy the year around weather for outdoors activities such as golf
1154	I feel Tucson is one of the most beautiful cities with our mountains surrounding us and the iconic saguaro. We are a very unique and delicate desert.
1155	I feel close to the earth, connected to my environment. I appreciate the beauty of our Zen-like desert, the quiet, wide clean open landscape that gives me space to think and clear my head, the majesty of the mountains and the dramatic skies to keep me connected to my God.
1156	I feel good when it's not rainy, gray, or snowy. The mountains are pretty
1157	I feel incredibly grateful to live in a place with Tucson's natural beauty--the mountains, the sunsets, the blue, open sky. And we have no hurricanes, mudslides, tornadoes and other natural disasters. We must be concerned about our water use, however.
1158	I feel it's important to get people out of their cars. It's better for our environment/air quality, it's better for our community, and it's better for our individual health.
1159	I feel like I am on 'vacation' whenever I look out side and the Catalina Mountains are so beautiful
1160	I feel more connected to the earth.
1161	I feel that my health is better here and that the warmer winters contribute to a lower cost of living in Tucson than other places in the U.S.
1162	I feel that the Sonoran desert is a very special place, both ecologically and culturally. My husband and I spend most of our free time outdoors biking, hiking, and spotting wildlife. We are in the Big Brother/Sister program, and our 'little brother' also loves exploring areas no one in his family has ever seen (Ironwood Nat. Mon, Fantasy Island, Mt Lemmon, Sweetwater Preserve, Sabino Canyon...)
1163	I feel the mountains surrounding Tucson represent stability and strength for our city. It's a feeling that God is watching over our city and, like the mountains, cannot be moved. I like the beauty of the mountains, especially when they are covered with snow after a snowfall. When I walk outside or drive down the road, I often look to the north and gaze upon the beauty of our largest mountains.
1164	I find it inspiring
1165	I find it personally essential to be connected to my natural environment, and there is ample opportunity for that to happen on a daily basis.
1166	I find solace and spiritual uplift from nature as well as a feeling of health and well-being.
1167	I find that outdoor activities are vital to my life. However, I am so busy I cannot do anything close to what I would like to. The views, mountains, and desert around Tucson remind me that its all right there in my back yard waiting.
1168	I find the Tucson environment and weather (most of the time) very comfortable and it is easy to be outdoors.
1169	I find the desert and mountains to be beautiful. I like to enjoy nature outside of an urban environment.
1170	I find the desert and the mountains strange and beautiful. And the weather delightful as a native Pennsylvanian.
1171	I find the mountains elevating to my spirits.
1172	I find the summers hot, but the nights cool and you can do almost anything year-round just depending on the time of day. bright sunlight is unique here and in the West.
1173	I find the surroundings beautiful and that makes my life richer.
1174	I froze my butt off in Iowa winters for 52 years
1175	I get a personal sense of inspiration, cameraderie, and comfort from living in an area that supports so many other living creatures. There are always cool native birds out my window in Tucson, and you never know when an ocelot will show up somewhere nearby!
1176	I get cold easy.
1177	I get lost in the scenery and peace that comes from the Catalinas
1178	I get to exercise year round outside.
1179	I go to school here
1180	I golf, hike, garden and love to spend time on our porch--all possible b/c of year-round (except last week) good weather.
1181	I grew up here. When I am somewhere without the mountains I feel disoriented. They are part of my stability.
1182	I grew up in Chicago, where the outdoors was off-limits for large portions of the year due to poor weather. I love being able to be active almost every day of the year, and Tucson's lower pollution rate (when compared to Phoenix) makes this possible.
1183	I grew up in Colorado Springs, CO and had enough fun battling winter weather.
1184	I grew up in Michigan and I hate cold weather
1185	I grew up in Phoenix and saw the surrounding area destroyed by capitalism. I love the Sonoran Desert and would die to preserve it. It's the one thing that makes living here most worthwhile.
1186	I grew up in Tucson not appreciating the unique Sonoran Desert, the mountains, the climate ... the beauty. When I returned home after being gone for 30 years I realized what a real treasure it is. So very special and different from any other place I'd lived.
1187	I grew up in Tucson out by Sabino Canyon and the foothill areas is beautiful.
1188	I grew up in Wisconsin; they are currently experiencing blizzard conditions.
1189	I grew up in a rural area and I still look to the plants and animals, the sky and weather to shape my day. I love seeing plants, lizards, birds, and other natural entities as I go about my day. I work downtown and enjoy the park in front of city hall, the trees that are planted along the sidewalks. Knowing that our community values open space and living with then environment makes me feel good.
1190	I grew up in an area where I could be outside every day and the same is true of Tucson. The weather permits the freedom to conduct in door or outdoor activities all year round.
1191	I grew up in the Northeast, where people are always in a rush and niceness isn't always on the top of everyone's list. Perhaps it's the warm weather and sunshine that puts everyone in such a good mood, but whatever it is, I'll take it. Tucson is a place that lets me relax without feeling like I'm getting in everyone's way. And to be honest, that's worth a whole lot.
1192	I grew up in the Southwest and i like the desert environment here but I also like being able to go up Mt. Lemmon to be in different climates as well.
1193	I grew up in the desert -- it's home.
1194	I grew up in the shadow of the Catalina Mountains and I think they are so beautiful.
1195	I grew up surrounded by the beautiful mountains and desert and although I've lived many other places, this unique environment is where I returned. It is my 'place of the soul'
1196	I grew up watching the shadows in the Catalina Mountains and watching the slopes and craigs turn pink in the sunset. It is important to me that our valley between these four magnificent mountain ranges stays pure, with easy access to the mountains and environment.
1197	I grew up where it was cold, icy, windy; I don't have to worry about traveling around here
1198	I guess I enjoy the excitment that the thunder and lightning create.
1199	I had to move from a damp cold climate or be in a wheelchair in my early 40's. I enjoy looking at the mountains.
1200	I hate being cold! :)
1201	I hate being cold. I hate snow and ice. I like the sun to shine every day.
1202	I hate big cities like chicago and new york to live in. The traffic, crime, noise, lack of natural world, and overall mean people makes those environments horrible to me. Tucson has enough of the city life to have most things available to me while avoid most of the evils of big city life.
1203	I hate blowing snow at my age
1204	I hate cold weather
1205	I hate driving in ice. After a month of frigid weather, I want spring.
1206	I hate humidity
1207	I hate rain
1208	I hate snow! the weather here is priceless!
1209	I hate snow. I like warm weather. Tucson has lots of warm days. Therefore, I like Tucson.
1210	I hate the cold!
1211	I hate the cold.
1212	I hate the summers. But the traffic improves. :)
1213	I hate to be cold. As a competitive athlete it also allows me to train outdoors year rond
1214	I hate to see the City of Tucson cutting down trees just because a sidewalk cracked or 'it's blocking my view' as the case is in my neighborhood. Living in a desert I feel that we should have as much drought tolerant shade (i.e. trees!)as possible. Make it a law that if you cut down a native tree you have to replace it and keep it alive!
1215	I hate too much snow
1216	I hate wind, snow, and other conditions that make daily routines painful.
1217	I hate winter. I love being outdoors.
1218	I have SAD and grey skies have, in the east, been a misery for me.
1219	I have a home in the foothills with an acres and often get to see the local wildlife; coyote, javalina, lizards, snakes, bobcats, etc. I love seeing the cacti and the mountains
1220	I have a lot of good memories hiking in all the surrounding mountains.
1221	I have adopted the mountains, desert flora and fauna, and sunny days as my own, as part of me and part of my well being.
1222	I have always been an outdoors person, and it is great to have open, natural space on the periphery of the urban areas visible from virtually anywhere in town as well as seeing threads of natural environment still existing in town. There are many challenges as well as opportunities to improving the Tucson area's environment and quality of life but policies are gradually changing and people are taking action voluntarily toward this goal.
1223	I have always felt safe and secure within the circle of our various mountain ranges.
1224	I have always loved nature and valued unbuilt landscapes -- what we used to call 'the country' where I grew up. I like knowing that there are still some wild places nearby that still have mountain lions, bighorn sheep (much less of those), bears, and many other animals and plants that require wildlands. And I like to be able to get to those wildlands for hiking and camping as easily as I can here -- it takes me less than an hour to drive to Saguaro National Park West or East or to the Catalinas or Rincons.
1225	I have always loved the many mountain ranges of Southern Arizona and have come to love the desert as well
1226	I have always loved the outdoors and the natural beauty. I am an artist/photographer and get out there as often as the rest of my life lets me. It brings peace and personal rejuvenation to me My Favorite places: Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson Botanical Gardens, Tohono Chul Park, Arthur Pack Regional Park (I hope we can preserve pockets of natural desert like the SW side of this!), Catalina State Park, Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, Saguaro National Park E and W, San Xavier Mission, Madera Canyon, Birding Areas in SE AZ.
1227	I have been to Phoenix and Denver and love how beautiful the downtown areas are so clean, full of activities, and fun.
1228	I have chronic pain
1229	I have easy access to a major National Park and similar protected natural areas.
1230	I have found a new hobby and form of exercise. I love riding my bike here and the weather is great for that. Although the roads in the county could be improved with bike lanes.
1231	I have lived and worked in cold weather and it's hard to have a good quality of life in it!
1232	I have lived in the cold mountains and in the Mojave Desert. The climate here is best
1233	I have never seen more beautiful sunsets and landscapes. Coming from the east and growing up near the ocean, I never thought I could fall in love with the desert as I have.
1234	I have often noticed streets flooding during large storms. While periodic flash floods are expected here, it would help to use water harvesting features, such as curb cuts and retention basins, on public properties and new developments to reduce street runoff. The public should also be educated about the benefits of water harvesting on their existing properties.
1235	I have seen that changes over the years, and am not happy with the desert being striped away. Too much infill.
1236	I have seen the destruction of the natural world and feel that this needs to be controlled
1237	I have spent the better part of the last fifty years of my life drinking in the wonders of nature, mountaineering, hiking and bathing myself in the natural world, and consider myself a citizen of the Universe. Tucson and its environments is a good place to satisfy this diet. is a good place to
1238	I hike often - I live under Pusch Peak and the view inspires me daily. The varying landscape is a joy to see everywhere
1239	I hike, photograph, enjoy all that the desert and sky islands have to offer.
1240	I know a lot of work has been done to the downtown area, and the I-10 also, which I think is awesome! I would like to see some areas central though. Some places look run down and I know there are a lot of privately owned homes and so forth that can't be controlled. I think Tucson has the potential to be a beautiful place with out surroundings and artistic community. I'm not sure the solution, but our town looks run down in some areas, and rich in others. It should be beautiful everywhere.
1241	I know no one wants to hear this, but a dry heat is better than a humid heat. It is really really nice 10 months out of the year and you need to stay hydrated and in the shade the other two.
1242	I know this is not something that we can control, but I am originally from Michigan and I love living in the desert.
1243	I know this is something we cannot change but it is a big reason why I have choosen Tucson as my home!
1244	I like Sabino Canyon and the natural scenes of Tucson
1245	I like Tucson I love Tucson because it is desert (drawings of happy faces)
1246	I like Tucson's feel of connectivity to it's environs.
1247	I like all the outdoor activities available including hiking, camping, bicyling, views, etc.
1248	I like beautiful places
1249	I like beauty
1250	I like being able to just get up and go and not worry about snow , rain, or fog
1251	I like being able to see cactus and trees in the desert along with homes and businesses. Would rather developments not remove all native plants and change the terrain.
1252	I like being able to see the stars, but I'm concerned about safety and being able to see
1253	I like being able to walk outside in sunshine and do fun activities outside
1254	I like being close to nature. It helps one remember that man is not the only or the most important life on earth.
1255	I like being out doors, being warm, walking in beautiful surroundings, being near the mountains.
1256	I like being out doors.
1257	I like being surrounded by the mountain ranges. I like being able to live outdoors all year long. I like being able to go from desert to pine trees in a half an hour drive.
1258	I like being warm
1259	I like being warm (but not too warm).
1260	I like being warm.
1261	I like casual living and mild weather invites that. Summer heat is too hot for me now.
1262	I like golf and weather
1263	I like having the beauty of the desert meld with the beauty of the surrouding mountains.
1264	I like hiking and backpacking in areas that feel remote, despite their proximity to town.
1265	I like how Tucson is unique in its buildings, colors of buildings, the natural vegetation. We are concerned as a people about our natural resources. AND, we don't look like Phoenix.
1266	I like it hot
1267	I like it is majority hot year-round
1268	I like knowing that weather is never going to stop me from doing what I want to do. If it's too hot, I can go to the mountains. It's so predictable too!
1269	I like living in a city where I can leave the city behind when I want to and enjoy the beauty of nature. It puts life in the city in perspective.
1270	I like living in warm weather.
1271	I like living surrounded by mountains, I always know where I am and when I want to escape the heat or city life, I do not have to go too far.
1272	I like looking at the desert. My parents have land near Tucson and the land holds very dear memories for me.
1273	I like native plants and wildlife in their natural settings and the variety here is wonderful. I believe in preservation of all things natural.
1274	I like nature and walk with my dogs
1275	I like nature. Walgreens has a grocery section as well. I like to eat out once a week and we have 2 places close by
1276	I like not having a brutal winter.
1277	I like relatively warm weather in the winter. The hot summers are bearable, compared to Phoenix and its extraordinary heat island that Tucson has less of.
1278	I like sunny and warm
1279	I like sunny days and warm climates.
1280	I like sunshine.
1281	I like that I can drive just minutes outside of Tucson and be in the wild desert.
1282	I like that I can find a rattler in the backyard, a tarantula in my atrium, and a finch outside the door.
1283	I like that I can hike in the desert and in the mountains without driving too far. I enjoy the fall, winter and spring months and the beautiful sky. It is only this color in Tucson.
1284	I like that I can ride my bike in the middle of town and see horses, coyotes, javalinas and rabbits. I literally live in middle of the city and love that there are dirt roads...I feel like I'm out in the country.
1285	I like that Tucson has the amenities of a large city, yet I can relatively quickly get away to the mountains or explore the desert. This balance I think makes Tucson a very unique place.
1286	I like that Tucson is environmentally friendly and plants a lot of trees
1287	I like that a variety of hiking and camping options are within driving distance. Being able to escape the heat on Mt. Lemmon during the summer is nice.
1288	I like that it is really hot much of the year
1289	I like that there are so many different things to see and learn about in the area.
1290	I like that when I am in the city I can look in any direction and see a beautiful mountain range. I am also pround of the fact that the County (and other local jurisdications) has made perserving open space a priority and I hope that never changes.
1291	I like the Southwest theme that has been kept in the beautifying of the city with the artwork in the renovating of the freeway entrances and overpasses and other roadways around the city.
1292	I like the Tucson skies and the climate of the region
1293	I like the amount of sun that we get and the mild winters. I don't even mind the hot summers.
1294	I like the animals and things you wouldn't normally see unless you looked really hard.
1295	I like the animals in the tucson desert becuase sometimes you can meet them.
1296	I like the areas of tucson that are still desert
1297	I like the atmosphere of the historic neighborhoods around central tucson, with their diversity of houses and beautiful landscaping.
1298	I like the beauty of the Sonoran desert, especially at sunset.
1299	I like the blue sky.
1300	I like the central part of town and being bicycle close to all the attractions the UA has to offer. I like to meet my friends at Raging Sage. I like the old homes in the central part of town. I love the desert and mexican influence on homes and landscaping. I love the mexican food!
1301	I like the clear blue sky of Tucson. When I was away from Tucson, in Germany, it was depressed by the grey sky.
1302	I like the climate better than other places I,ve lived.
1303	I like the climate. It is sunny, but more mild than Phoenix. The mountains are close by to provide even more variety in climate.
1304	I like the desert and the way it feels like a small town in a big city.
1305	I like the desert climate, the dry heat in summer and warmth of winter
1306	I like the desert environment
1307	I like the desert.
1308	I like the diversity of events that occur in our beautiful downtown area. Like the Meet Yourself, Downtown Saturday nights, Christmas Parade, Various ethnic festivities, etc.
1309	I like the dry heat and sunny days. Tucson's air quality allows us to enjoy the weather.
1310	I like the dry warm climate that Tucson has to offer
1311	I like the dry weather from this region. Specially during the spring and fall. Also the winter season is not as cold as other places. I can agree with many that the heat of the summer may be too much at times, but over all it's ok.
1312	I like the dryness of the desert and the types of plants that are in it
1313	I like the fact that I can walk from my home to a natural area such as a wash or natural open space area without having to get in a car.
1314	I like the fact that you can take a drive for 45 minutes and you are on top of the mountain! It would be nicer if there was more of a variety at the top to eat at.
1315	I like the flexibility of being able to participate in indoor and outdoor activities with very little interruption by the weather.
1316	I like the green grass and trees.
1317	I like the heat and dislike very cold environments.
1318	I like the javelina crossing the street in front of me as I drive to work. The quail chattering to each other in my back yard as they drink from the water dish. Seeing the shadow of a bobcat as it saunters through the yard. Having 1 to 4 coyotes running through my driveway. Being spellstruck by the hawks, vultures, and falcons cruising the skies for a meal.
1319	I like the lack of formality, particularly in the dress code, but also in social interaction. I like the lack of pretension, that we don't take ourselves too seriously. Or maybe instead of the negative (lack), I like the groundedness, the realness. I like going out in the winter without the coat and window-scraping production. Actually, I just like going out in the winter, the winter sun always makes me smile. I like the traffic flow, which seems easier than other places.
1320	I like the lifestyle and scenery of the Southwestern states, the big sky, wonderful mountains, historical Indian influence and land. I enjoy camping, hunting, skiing, biking, and having my grandchildren raised more in nature.
1321	I like the location of the city surrounded by mountains.
1322	I like the mild winters. The summers are hot but I am used the those days.
1323	I like the months and month of great weather. The few months of monsoons are just enough to help me appreciate those changing conditions.
1324	I like the most is the change of weather change throughout the state.
1325	I like the mountains
1326	I like the mountains and the desert.
1327	I like the mountains, the desert and the outdoor opportunities they offer
1328	I like the nature in Tucson
1329	I like the nature that surrounds us.
1330	I like the old adobe Mexican Territorial architecture, it makes this place a mix of cultures, it's beautiful. I like the dense neighborhoods of small houses in midtown, it's a non-materialistic somehow, compared to glitzy sprawl and all-new buildings.
1331	I like the open skies, mountains and wildlife.
1332	I like the outdoor activities, the fresh air and the nice climate
1333	I like the outdoors, enjoy hiking, birdwatching, spotting wildlife, enoying the quiet. I like the darkness of the night sky and the blue of the day.
1334	I like the proximity to the desert and mountains with their hiking and walking trails. Our desert is unique and beautiful.
1335	I like the sense of expansiveness I get from the desert. It's clean, clear, wide open.
1336	I like the sunny days so we can be outside a lot
1337	I like the sunshine and heat. I couldn't live in cold, snow or ice.
1338	I like the sunshine.
1339	I like the views
1340	I like the warm climate, but also like the proximity of cooler areas to escape to if the heat becomes too oppressive. This climate allows activity year-round.
1341	I like the warm weather and sunshine--great for a good mood.
1342	I like the warm weather.
1343	I like the warmth of the sun and the bright days
1344	I like the weather

1346	I like the weather and desert
1347	I like the weather and environment

1349	I like the weather most of the year.
1350	I like the weather, I prefer it being warm and not cold

1353	I like to be in beautiful surroundings and I love the outdoors

1356	I like to be outside.
1357	I like to be warm
1358	I like to bicycle and the weather is great for it and many routs around town are great for commuting by bicycle. I love riding through neighborhood and seeing all the great tucson houses and yards and buildings
1359	I like to enjoy open space and other significant natural features
1360	I like to exercise outdoors and our great weather makes that possible year round.

1364	I like to hike and be in nature but I also appreciate the amenities of an urban area.
1365	I like to hike and be in nature. It soothes my soul.

1374	I like to stay warm
1375	I like to use public lands. I like being able to drive to beautiful places in public lands. I like that I don't have to pretend to like SKA music and Indie bands. People here are proud and respectful, for the most part.
1376	I like to walk at the park and look over and see the mountains - the reason I like clear air.
1377	I like to work outdoors as much as possible, mild weather makes it easier to pay for heating bills for a City employee who has not had a pay raise in four years but yet water, gas & electric prices continue to go up.
1378	I like too look at the stars. There is too much ambient light.
1379	I like very much to take in the sun, to walk or sit and enjoy a cup of coffe outdoors

1381	I like warm days
1382	I like warm weather and there is a nice temperature here
1383	I like warmth
1384	I liked the change of season I grew up with. What ever part of me it satisfied, is satisfied each day with our daily 30 degree range.
1385	I live for October through May. I don't think you could find a better stretch of weather anywhere in the country.
1386	I live her because of the natural beauty of this area - the desert and mountains - and the protected wilderness areas so close to a major city.
1387	I live in Catalina to be close to nature.
1388	I live in a lovely home, underneath the Catalina Mountains. My daughter lives in a much smaller home, right near a commuter train, in a high crime district in California. Her home is on a postage stamp sized lot, mine is on an acre and a half. Her house cost her $650,000, mine would sell for about $350,000.
1389	I live in a place that has seen too much development and ugly houses being built close together. Wild life is becoming less common.
1390	I live next to the monument and I enjoy the wildlife in my back yard.
1391	I live on acreage on Tucson's west side and I get up every morning and marvel at the beauty of the landscape and the peace it gives me. I walk in the Tucson Mountain Park every day.
1392	I lived in Florida for 20 years.
1393	I lived in cold northern places and prefer to be hot over cold.
1394	I lived in the midwest too long and i dont want to be cold and have to dig my car out in the morning.
1395	I love 1200 days of sunshine/year. When its cloudy and overcast I long for the sun. Having warm winters never gets old.
1396	I love Arizona's eco system diversity - from the Colorado River pathway, the mountains & the Sonoran Desert
1397	I love October through May, where I can work outside and it is usually sunny.
1398	I love a little bit of both. Plenty to do in town, but very easy to be out in nature regularly.
1399	I love all the plants and animals
1400	I love animals and nature and would like to preserve as much desert as possible
1401	I love animals and wildlife, and know that the future of all species, including humans, depends on how well we care for them.
1402	I love being able to be out of doors all year to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine
1403	I love being able to drive up any street and see a mountain backdrop. I never take for granted being able to drive or bike just a few minutes and reach beautiful desert, riparian canyons, and getaway mountains. I enjoy being able to hike year-round.
1404	I love being able to get on a trail and feel like I am out of town, without really being 'out of town'.
1405	I love being able to have doors and windows open to allow fresh air in and to be able to go anywhere at anytime and not have weather be a limiting factor
1406	I love being able to see 4 mountain ranges from in town. And I love that in 15 minutes you can be out of town and hiking in the desert with no city noise and only saguaros and other desert plants around you.
1407	I love being able to wear sandals in December.
1408	I love being active all year round, and the weather and beautiful hiking in the area make it an amazing place to spend every season except summer!
1409	I love being out in the sun and don't really like cold and rainy weather. would rather put up with the extreme summer temps than the extreme winter temps experienced in other parts of the country.
1410	I love being outdoors and there are plenty of places to go and numerous types of activities available. (I especially enjoy hiking and bicycling). The warm dry climate is beautiful, the air is generally excellent, and the desert mountains are a source of spiritual renewal for me.
1411	I love being outdoors. The weather helps allow that and the good hiking makes it fun.
1412	I love being outside
1413	I love cycling and running and Tucson's weather makes it easy to do this year-round.
1414	I love desert areas so it is nice that a lot of Tucson is still desert areas.

1416	I love everything about the Sonoran Desert, except posionous critters.
1417	I love feeling the crisp clean air in the morning and the walks are amazing and the sunrise is so beautiful
1418	I love going to the Tucson Botanical Gardens, the Desert Museum, and Parks and Rec classes. Gives me project ideas for around the home. Also learning about plants and wildlife makes me enjoy it more
1419	I love having the ability of being close to nature
1420	I love having the mountains around me and the blue skies almost everyday.
1421	I love how close nature is to the city (in the city, in fact!)
1422	I love how so many people living in Tucson have taken up xeriscape. The desert has a rugged beauty, and it is nice to see this incorporated into our urban landscape.
1423	I love living close to hiking trails and walking in the desert. I think we live in a unique landscape and we should protect it.
1424	I love living in the desert, and I love that the Tucson community brings its desert identity into the urban structures as well. Buildings are generally low slung, thus leaving views of the mountains and desert surroundings. Yards are usually landscaped with the desert in mind. Art and architecture are often created around desert themes.
1425	I love looking at the mountains and watching them change colors. I love this place!
1426	I love looking at the mountains, taking walks in the desert, going up into the mountains.
1427	I love looking up at the mountains as I leave my house. Natural beauty
1428	I love my morning walks, seeing the birds, variety of plants and other animals. The sunsets are the best!

1430	I love natural and human history and this place has it all.
1431	I love nature & the grandeur of the mountains
1432	I love nature and hiking
1433	I love not having to bundle up and deal with snow and ice.
1434	I love our climate, except when it gets over 110 degrees or below 40 degrees. I really love it when it rains and brings life to the desert!
1435	I love photographing the monsoon; the lightning and scenery. I love the weather too
1436	I love seeing the mountains and the variety/levels of hiking trails. I appreciate that they're clear of homes.
1437	I love seeing the sun almost everyday and being surrounded by the mountains.
1438	I love summer!
1439	I love sunshine
1440	I love that Tucson embraces the desert environment instead of fighting against it the way cities like Phoenix do... I appreciate water harvesting features built into landscapes and the fact that homes and businesses use native plants to landscape instead of unsustainable features like grass and non-native trees. We live in a desert and I love that Tucsonans understand that and appreciate it!
1441	I love that everywhere I go in this city, someone is promoting a green living idea, or getting up into the mountains, or Saguaro National Park. People here really appreciate the desert and the surrounding mountains.
1442	I love that everywhere I look I can see mountains.
1443	I love that we can do things outside all year round. Yes, it gets hot in the summer, but you get used to it.
1444	I love that we have clean air, blue skys and beautiful surrounding mountains. The desert is amazing!
1445	I love the 'dry heat'. The view of mountains any direction one looks gives a feeling of being in a protected environment.
1446	I love the Sonoran Desert and am glad there are natural areas that are preserved from development. The AZ-Sonora Desert Museum, Tohono Chul, and the Tucson Botanical Gardens are great. I love the hiking!
1447	I love the Sonoran desert
1448	I love the Sonoran desert - from the lower Coloradan scrub to the saguaro/ironwood forests to the multiple ecotomes available in the Sky Islands such as along the Mt Lemon highway, Madera canyon, Sabino canyon, etc.
1449	I love the Sonoran desert region we live in. I love waking up every morning and seeing the Catalina Mountain rise from the desert valley. The sunsets, fauna, flora, and even the city itsself hold much beauty.
1450	I love the Tucson area climate, no COLD winters
1451	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.
1452	I love the beauty of our desert, the saguaro studded mountains, the lush desert landscape
1453	I love the beauty of the desert.
1454	I love the beauty of the mountains that surround the city.
1455	I love the breathtaking beauty of the outdoors.
1456	I love the chance to spend time with friends outside, excercising and taking in sweeping panoramic vistas
1457	I love the climate and interacting with others in the community
1458	I love the desert - no water/rain no desert vegetations or animals
1459	I love the desert and find it beautiful
1460	I love the desert and our weather
1461	I love the desert and the beauty of Tucson with surrounding mountains.
1462	I love the desert and the mountains and the cactus....I love being able to see for miles and miles
1463	I love the desert and the mountains, the climate and the air.
1464	I love the desert climate and scenery.
1465	I love the desert environment. We live in such a special place with unique flora and fauna. I hate to see the californication of our region taking place. Homes are all looking the same, the uniquiness of the desert plants seems to be giving way to greenification and the introduction of more and more foreign plants. Let's keep our desert unique.
1466	I love the desert wildlife and the ability to sit in my backyard and watch birds of all kinds, and watch the wide open skies and weather moving in
1467	I love the desert.
1468	I love the desert. I enjoy the hot summers and the cold winters. I love the open space that the desert affords.
1469	I love the diverse beauty of this region and the living desert.
1470	I love the diversity of topography. You can be hot/warm/cold in only a few hours.
1471	I love the dry and hot climate and it is one of the main reason I stayed here.
1472	I love the ease with which it is easy to get to the WILD outdoors here, for all levels of fitness. Sabino Canyon is easy, as are some trails in Saguaro National Monument, but the Finger Rock trail and others are harder. PRESERVE THE DESERT, and the approaches to places like Sabino Canyon.
1473	I love the general landscape and like to look at the mountains
1474	I love the heat.
1475	I love the landscape and the mountains around us
1476	I love the mild winters (until this one) and do not mind the heat. I love being able to see and visit the mountains and the desert.
1477	I love the mountains and desert, like to hike and bike in the environs
1478	I love the mountains and hiking trails on the outskirts of Tucson. These trails enable me and my family to stay connected to the earth while staying physically active and emotionally balanced.
1479	I love the mountains and the fact that you can get away from the heat easily during summer and experience snow if you want during the winter!
1480	I love the mountains, desert and mountain biking.
1481	I love the mountains, the Sonoran Desert plants and wildlife, and the dark skies. I can easily escape the city for a natural getaway, with parks all around.
1482	I love the much sought after rains in the summer with the lightning, thunder and wind. I do not like the heat so I bathe in the perfection of the winters with the royal blue skies.
1483	I love the natural beauty of the desert.
1484	I love the old West feel of Tucson. It's such a beautiful and awesome setting. The architecture might be really shoddy, but the setting is unbelievable. I can't think of many cities with populations around 1 million that are in settings as impressive as Tucson.
1485	I love the outdoors and beautiful landscapes.
1486	I love the outdoors and nature. To live in a city of this size and have it all so accessible and close to us is amazing and special. I seriously wouldn't live here if they weren't here. Seriously!
1487	I love the outdoors and the views!
1488	I love the outdoors. Hiking around Tucson is as good as it gets.
1489	I love the outside eateries and the music at night. It's a great place to go and have fun with friends and enjoy the weather in a safe environment
1490	I love the plant diversity, I spend most of my free time outside
1491	I love the scenery and warm weather. I appreciate that we have no major problems with hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, ice storms, etc. I like being close to the border and CA and NM.
1492	I love the senoran desert and I would like to see it maintained.
1493	I love the sky, vegetation, weather, mountains, sun
1494	I love the smell of rain in the desert
1495	I love the sun
1496	I love the sunshine
1497	I love the terrain here
1498	I love the unique desert and landscape we have in and around Tucson. Its like no were else on earth and
1499	I love the view of the Catalina Mountains from my kitchen and living room windows.
1500	I love the views
1501	I love the views of the mountains, access to the out of doors, the clilmate and the desert vegetation.
1502	I love the warm winters
1503	I love the weather here in Tucson
1504	I love the weather here.
1505	I love the weather.
1506	I love the wide open spaces, the views of the mountains, and the diversity of the wildlife of the desert.
1507	I love the wildlife
1508	I love the winters here. No snow and ice. No cold weather. 3 months of summer can be tough, but the other 9 months are fantastic.
1509	I love to be outdoors, not cooped up in a house during the winter months. Diversity of the landscape. Mountains, desert, etc.
1510	I love to be outside, and the infinite variety of places to go here is awesome.
1511	I love to be warm
1512	I love to drive and look at the City. I like Tucson and like to take drives. But our roads are awful.
1513	I love to get out and hike whenever I can and I love to look at the mountains and feel the closeness to nature
1514	I love to hike and get out into nature. I feel more calm and at peace when I am hiking. Having nearby trails that are easily accessible is important to me.
1515	I love to hike in all the mountain ranges and take walks around the area. Also enjoy the history
1516	I love to hike in the mountains and the various parks surrounding Tucson.
1517	I love to just look and watch. It makes me content.
1518	I love to look at the mountains, they support and sustain my spirit
1519	I love to play soccer and go hiking, and being able to do this year round rather than just for 6 or 7 months is really great.
1520	I love to run, swim, play soccer & softball. It's important to have people to do those things with & friends to support me. The weather here doesn't hurt either :)
1521	I love to see the mountains and desert, the native plants, animals. I love being outdoors. I love living in the Tucson Mountains and having critters in my back yard.
1522	I love to spend free time outside- enjoying fresh air, sunshine and exercise
1523	I love to spend time outside and the weather allows for that most of the year
1524	I love to take photographs.
1525	I love to walk in the desert and mountains.
1526	I love walking, hiking and biking in the desert. It is so beautiful and I would love to keep it pristine.
1527	I love wild animals, birds and plants. Tucson area has one of the richest natural wildlife areas in the country. I'm very passionate about keeping the Sonoran Desert pristine.
1528	I love wildlife. Wildlife needs habitat and since we develop it in chunks it needs viable paths among remaining pieces the are free of domestic cats, grazing cattle, paved roads.
1529	I miss nature.
1530	I moved from a very cold climate and never want to scrape a windshield again! Sunshine makes me happy!
1531	I moved here from Pa. and do not like the cold.
1532	I moved here in 1996 from a very cold climate. It's a very big lifestyle change and has been a very positive one for me.
1533	I moved out here because I hate the cold and love the mountain views and hiking opportunities.
1534	I moved to AZ for better weather, among other things.
1535	I moved to Tucson for the weather and the great outdoors
1536	I moved to Tucson from a highly populated, urban area with no mountains. I marvel every day at how beautiful Tucson is.
1537	I need mountains. The climate is excellent with many superb months for outdoor living every year. Even early mornings in summer are good outdoor weather.
1538	I need open space, especially natural areas to revive me, too allow me to tackle the stresses of life. I particularly love the Sonoran Desert.
1539	I need sunshine and I don't need snow.
1540	I need the sense of openness that the desert and mountains provide.
1541	I need to be able to connect with nature, whether by simply looking at the beauty of the Sonoran Desert from my home / business.
1542	I need to be able to retreat from the chaos of the week and having the Santa Catalinas and Rincons at my door step is immensely comforting
1543	I need to get out of the city frequently to clear my mind and the desert is so close and wonderful for this.
1544	I need to spend lots of time outdoors and Tucson has so much in the way of urban trails, hiking opportunities, bike paths, etc. I love all the events held regularly, particularly 'Tucson Meet Yourself' and 'Second Saturday.' I walk up Tumamoc hill regularly too.
1545	I never get tired of looking at the mountains, the desert plants. Just beautiful.
1546	I own horses and it is good to see so many trails and other horses around
1547	I personally enjoy the warmer dry climate.
1548	I prefer heat to cold
1549	I prefer sunshine to rain, warmth over coolness.
1550	I prefer to live in an environment where you can live both in and out of doors most of the year and do not have to rely on artificial climate control (again, with the exception of the summer heat)
1551	I prefer to live in an environment with varied topography and plant life reduce the often ugly structures made my humans. Tucson is a very unimpressive place if limited to its 'man-made' creations.
1552	I really HATE grey, dreary days, especially when there are several/many in a row
1553	I really appreciate the fact that in relativelt little time, one can be in undeveloped rural area containing an abundance and variety of flora and fauna.
1554	I really do like the heat.
1555	I really enjoy Tucson's natural surroundings. The sun is always shining and the mountain are a beautiful place to enjoy the weather.
1556	I really enjoy being outdoors and with the climate you can be all year
1557	I really like the fact that I don't have to deal with winter.......and the summer heat doesn't bother me at all.
1558	I really love all the murals around Tucson. I think that we could improve even more of our buildings with this technique, and it's also a great way to get the community involved and invested-- the murals can be chosen, designed, and/or painted by the community.
1559	I recently moved from Seattle, and I love the sunshine and gorgeous weather.
1560	I remember how nice it was back in the 1930's and 1940's when we had lots of desert. We need a better land use plan.
1561	I rented for many years before buying a house. My brother is on a fixed income and it's very difficult to find a decent rental that is in good repair and weather resistant. $500/month gets a run down apartment or guest house in 'not so good' parts of town, and the landlords don't do anything to maintain the places... just collecting rent.
1562	I see Tucson as a city with a lot going for it and even more possiblity in the future. The outdoors are here, The culture is here and could use more work in bringing that culture to sight, third, I see the possibility for a development in which culture, natural resources and overall well-being are advanced equally.
1563	I see the Catalina's everyday, they're our visual reference and common bond
1564	I see them every day, they make Tucson unique, and they're better than the hills you find in every other town.
1565	I see this happening in Phoenix area. Schools are adjacent to parks so that there is not a duplication of water resources. Schools can use facilities during school year. I am very worried about water in our desert. I see also that Phoenix area requires large construction projects to have areas for water to drain into the soil. Every apartment , housing project, mall has large green drainage areas to offset the concret paving and buildings.
1566	I shared that #1 is the view of the mountains. I also love seeing landscape or plain stone in medians. To see weeds and bushes/trees going wild makes Tucson not what it could be.
1567	I so enjoy the extended summer and mild winters and being able to be outdoors 12 months of the year without being buried in snow!
1568	I spend as much time outdoors as possible hiking, biking, eating, etc. After living in Arizona for 35 years, I can't imagine spending months at a time without that warm sunshine on my shoulders 360 days a year.
1569	I spend six months here to enjoy the mountains, biking, and golf. I also enjoy the restaurants and cultural events.
1570	I spent 40 years in the Minnesota and after all those winters it is nice to not face the cold.
1571	I spent time in Germany and it was so wonderful. I could walk everywhere, but things in smaller quantities, and really got to know my area. When I can back to Tucson, I had to start driving everywhere again. We developed to sell cars, so everything in this country is developed to drive to
1572	I suffer from Reynauds Syndrome, and the warm weather is the only treatment known that will relieve those symptoms
1573	I suffer from arthritis and bad circulation. So I hurt less in this climate. I love being outside most of the year. Nothing can bum me out more than a week of overhead clouds.
1574	I suffer from severe osteoarthritis and I function so much better in the arid desert
1575	I suppose we would need uninterrupted sidewalks to be able to request shade trees be planted! Shade trees for parking under would be good too!
1576	I take advantage of it, hiking, camping, sightseeing, etc.
1577	I think it is important to have places for people to hike, be free, and preserve animal habitats
1578	I think it's great that Tucson has retained so much of its natural 'look' and hasn't been over planted with non native greenery. I like seeing the javalinas, jackrabbits, and coyotes. What would become of Tucson if it looked like Phoenix?
1579	I think more plants would help with beautifying the enviornment.
1580	I think our city has become the 'Call Center' of the Southwest. While these are jobs that I am grateful stayed here in the US they are not high paying jobs and would like to see other industries take advantage of our great weather and all we have to offer as a community. Please bring back Spring Training Baseball! It was such a great form of entertainment and brought in $$$ for the community because others wanted to escape the winter in the East and Midwest and enjoy our sunshine and a good ballgame!
1581	I think so much can be done in Tucson, but our leaders seem to waste so much money planning and replanning and figuring out how to come up with the best plan that makes everyone in the community happy, when really not everyone is happy. Just small interest groups that always have the county's and city's ear are happy. Good leadership will truly create jobs and a better community, because they can make decisions that will help the community grow in a sustainable way. And sustainable does not mean in a way that is just environmentally friendly. It is a way that brings economic stability (jobs), and social stability (places to go like professional sporting events, parks, and places to eat). The leaders in the community are great at saying no to or messing up things that would bring economic and social stability, while at the same time of only focusing in on the environmental side of sustainability. We need good leaders that can act for Tucson, not for the special interest groups.
1582	I think that it crucial that Tucson does not build into our national parks and preserves Tucson's natural beauty. The weather is so great here that being outside is so appealing and it is so important that we have beautiful, clean, and fun parks/facilities to enjoy the outside. I also think that this attracts tourism.
1583	I think they are destroying the natural environment of our community to make short-term profits
1584	I think this has created sprawl. More multiuse areas, creative use of historic buildings, and live/work space could add more vibrancy to historic parts of town in the after hours. Allow infill and perhaps more multistory buildings instead of having homes creep up our mountains. Although, outside of downtown, I do like the wide streets views of the mountains.
1585	I think urban sprawl directly affects our sonoran desert ecology and I'd want us to protect our desert. I think urban sprawl also affects our ability to establish a more thriving downtown center where arts and culture programs can flourish.
1586	I think we should preserve some desert spots for people to be able to go to for recreational purposes
1587	I took a job here to explore the desert and enjoy the mix of cultures. Most people are kind and helpful.
1588	I used to love all the open space, desert and horses. We have been losing that over the years. Was one of our strongest features.
1589	I value geographic beauty in my everyday life and enjoy outdoor recreation (hiking, etc.)
1590	I value the environment and aesthetics. I love seeing the mountains every day, the sunsets and the stars.
1591	I volunteer at the Desert Museum as a Junior Docent, and I enjoy educating the public about the wonders of our natural desert environment. The Desert Museum is pretty sweet!
1592	I want Tucson to thrive, economically, socially, and educationally. I want us to attract eco-friendly business to a city that values its heritage and its environment. We cannot do that without excellence in education. I want this to be a city I am proud to live in and one that I want to continue to live in.
1593	I want to be outside a lot
1594	I want to live in a city that understands the value of aesthetics to people's attitudes. Tucson could be amazing if the land planning and architecture even attempted to mirror its natural beauty. As an example, look at Estes Park, Colorado and the downtown park running along the creek.
1595	I want to preserve the area's natural beauty.
1596	I want to protect our beautiful natural environment while at the same time helping lower income folks access the jobs and shopping if they have limited transportation means.
1597	I want to repeat what I said in #2. I don't miss the 45 below zero weather. I don't miss 45-125 mile an hour winds
1598	I want to ride my bike each day
1599	I want to see every person making small sacrifices to save the desert. Using less water, volunteering to help pull invasive species, carpooling and driving less etc.
1600	I wanted to get away from cold weather and snow.
1601	I was born and raised here.
1602	I was born here and do not like other clement
1603	I was born in New Orleans and grew up in a 'Cajun' French culture. The Tucson culture reflects one of a types of cultures that reflects the ways in which I grew up. Rich in customs an food, architecture and ways of life. Respect for nature and customs.
1604	I was born in Tucson and have traveled to every state in the nation and have never found anything as majestic as the Tucson Mountains and sunrises and sunsets.
1605	I was in Tucson when the trail heads at Finger Rock and Pima Canyon were beautiful and not cluttered with big houses. Trails in and around Tucson should be beautiful and tied together in networks and alternative transportation
1606	I was raised here - we are in denial about the need for more sophisticated and comrehensive water harvesting. The county has made progress toward biologic and cultural preservation but their is not sufficient emphasis on complimenting riparian protection & restoration or connectivity throughout the other jurisdictions, including Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, etc.
1607	I was raised in the midwest with very cold and snowy weather so appreciate the absence of that.
1608	I watch as we create a sprawling, badly-designed, badly -planned and mostly ugly city, but like a big brother, the mountains always visually rescue us with their permanent and inspiring beauty.
1609	I wear shorts in December. 'Nuff said.
1610	I wish I lived in a neighborhood with sidewalks and bike paths (not just lanes on the busy street) so I could take advantage of the gorgeous weather 9 mos of the year and walk or bike with my family to do my errands and be out in my community safely and healthfully.
1611	I work for the International Dark-Sky Association.
1612	I would change the mindset of planners committed to development without considering sustainability (water resources), natural beauty, and the fragile Sonoran ecosystem.
1613	I would like a moratoreum on building on the slopes of the Catalinas
1614	I would like to see citywide beautification.
1615	I would like to see empty homes filled and old business space be used up instead of tearing down more desert to build
1616	I would like to see limits put on sprawl in the region (i.e. establish a growth boundary) and zoning changed to encourage higher mixed-use density. I believe it is better for the community and the surrounding desert as a whole. It would also help support more efficient, eco-friendly modes of transportation.
1617	I would like to walk to my work, or to the park, but in the middle of Summer it is too bare, not enough trees. It would be great to have more shade , also for cars at parking lots. Plant more trees!
1618	I would like tucson to have more fowering plants because we do not even have trees because we cut them down.
1619	I would love to see us live closely in and urban environment where we walk to the store and see our neighbors on a regular and informal basis and leave the outdoors 'OUT THERE'. Instead of people thinking they need 4+ acres for a single family dwelling.
1620	I would not allow one more speck of the desert to disappear to development.
1621	I would rather have days at 100 with no/little humidity - than days at 80 with 80% humidity hands down. Also, becuase of our minimum humidity you can see for miles - and can take photos that look like they have been touched up becuase of the relatively lack of pollutants / yuck in our air.
1622	I would rather live here than anywhere else. Our weather is perfect. Have you seen the forecast for back east?
1623	I'd like the city to look better. i think we need an architectural look depicting the 'old pueblo', and this needs to be taken into account when granting permits. we have some gorgeous buildings in Tucson and these could be the model. next, the plantings in street center dividers often look as if there has been no thought to it. one palm tree might be 5' tall and the one next to it is 15' tall. a little more artistic talent would go al LONG way to making our city more appealing.
1624	I'd like to see more natural desert parks in the urban area
1625	I'm a biologist- important to be around native forests, wildlife.
1626	I'm a healthy, active outdoor person and the natural local beauty is an easy integral part of life here.
1627	I'm a huge U of A sports fan, and feel it's the strongest civic bond Tucson has, of any kind. Where else to you see such a blend of ages, ethnicities, religions, political persuasions, socioeconomic statuses, etc. in one venue? Beyond sports, the U of A campus is a central gem in this city, with beautiful green open spaces, consistent red brick buildings, and a climate that values learning and research.
1628	I'm a native Tucsonan and have lots of history here. I like living warm - no snow
1629	I'm a vet at an animal shelter here in Tucson. I see a lot of sad, neglected animals but have the monetary support from private donors to fix (spay/neuter and medically support) a lot of them. Also, we strive daily to control feral cat populations and feel lucky to have the support to sterilize every one we catch (which stabilizes colony sizes, improves colony health to reduce disease reservoir...)
1630	I'm allergic to the cold
1631	I'm an environmental scientist and outdoor enthusiast; I like to be able to hike, camp, and enjoy the outdoors close to home.
1632	I'm an outdoor person; moderate all year round
1633	I'm an outdoors person i.e. it is much better to be outdoors in a beautiful area.
1634	I'm delighted by personal encounters with coyotes, javelina, roadrunners, and rabbits. I love learning about native plants and how to incorporate them in my landscaping. You can be outdoors just about anytime of the year.
1635	I'm from Mn
1636	I'm from New England and am done with the cold climate and snow.
1637	I'm from the Midwest, so I'm glad my family and friends like to visit sunny Tucson
1638	I'm from the midwest, and the cold will break your spirit. Tucson is hot in the summer, but that is a lot easier to take than winters in Iowa
1639	I'm likely to live in a subdivision that's a loop. You see lot's of nature. It feels like being in nature in the center of the city. Lot's of people walking and we have a mini community. For future development, we should structure the roads, etc. to build small communities within the larger community. I want to live at Grant/Swan so I walk to Starbucks and other places
1640	I'm motivated by and attracted to nature. Conservation of open spaces/parks should be a priority.
1641	I'm originaly from a colder climate. Love the weather here.
1642	I'm still new in town. just moved here in November so the weather is pretty warm for the winter's I'm used to.
1643	I'm tired of waiting. it looks better than 10 years ago, but really!
1644	I've always lived in the Southwest (Texas, California, Arizona since 1970), so I am comfortable with the climate here.
1645	I've been in Arizona for 25 years. Being from Chicago where things are FLAT, my perspectives have changed. And aside from last week when my water pipes froze and the gas was off, the winters have been good. I don't need 110 degrees in the summer, though.
1646	I've come to enjoy the desert landscape. Coming from an area that gets a great deal of rain, the brown of Tucson was a little difficult, but I've grown to enjoy what the desert has to offer.
1647	I've gotten into Triathlons, running groups, and hiking groups in Tucson that I have great friends and great experiences from enjoying. The weather and the restaurants would be 4th and 5th on my list.
1648	I've learned more about myself and my place in nature by being surrounded by constant reminders of how diverse human and biotic communities are, and experiencing how these communities coexist in a challenging environment.
1649	I've lived in cold and wet climates several times and find them difficult to tolerate. I've also lived in hot and humid climates and find those equally problematic.
1650	I've lived in lush green places before, but never was I so eager to head out into nature as I am in the Sonoran desert. I also love that there are large groups of people dedicated to protecting those natural environments and resources.
1651	I've lived in overcrowded cities back east where all you can see of the sky was a narrow strip above the canyons of buildings or through overgrown, cramped streets and highways. The open sky really feels like there's room to move and breathe. The mountains also help to ground the city and give a sense of place.
1652	I've lived in places that are flat, with no mountains. Everywhere you turn are mountains befitting a picture postcard.
1653	If it gets to hot you can allways drive to Mt Lemmon to cool down and enjoy other scenery
1654	If it weren't so affordable to live here, I'd have moved to NY, CHI, SF, or SEA years ago. If Tucson wants to pretend to be a city, fine. Build more roads, bicker about cost feasibility studies over hotels and arenas, rustle up some hillbillies, and we can become Alabama West, or Kansas South. But we're not those places. We are a city of great diversity and beauty and we owe it to those who love it here to make ourselves more like the other great cities in America. I say this: More public transit options are the first step towards making that a reality. Look at any great city throughout the world and tell me how many of them where you'd need a car to move about. London, Moscow, Tokyo, NY, CHI, SF, SEA, etc. etc.
1655	If meeting spaces aren't available it is usually nice enough to set a time outside
1656	If there is one thing I miss from Ohio (other than real tomatoes!) it's being able to walk amongst the trees to take me to another place. I don't need the fall of leaves, I miss the sound of the leaves and the ability to get lost in the forest.
1657	If there is one thing that could be changed that seems to me that would have a dramatic effect it is noise. So many studies out there are suggesting the high impact on all levels of health, physical, emotional and mental with regard to noise levels. Traffic noise, helicopter noise, the awful noise the airbase generates with those jets flying so low over the city! Then there are the ever increasing barking dogs, wow, I can't even take a walk on any street in my neighborhood without being accosted by multiple teams of barking dogs! And gunshots resound in the neighborhood at least 2-5 times per month depending on the season. When the suicide lanes were still in place on Grant every day at the same time morning and evening there would be the sound of blaring horns honking at people that would be in the wrong lane, we always knew what time it was when they started. It's nice to have that ended. To be surrounded by beauty only to have it so deeply compromised by foul sound is to lose a precious aspect of what the desert has provided for centuries, a quiet place to reflect and compose one's self to that which stretches beyond one's self. There is no need for the jets to fly so low with all that surrounding desert and I personally question the expense of helicopters for tracking down someone that has stolen a stereo. We could do better and I'm hoping we do.
1658	If this community would recycle glass, have deposits on glass, etc. It would help to eliminate the awful mess on our streets and in our desert.
1659	If we are not careful we will lose all we love about the desert due to development
1660	If you like to do things out of doors (I do), then few places can match Tucson.
1661	Imagine a large city where you can see the starts at night; that is Tucson. The dark skies initiative is a great idea, and should be a part of any permitting process in the county or the city. Even Tucson Electric Ballpark and the U of A should be a solution to, not a source of light pollution.
1662	Impending energy shortages and improves the environment
1663	Important to keep restrictions on enviroment, but not at the detriment of putting the importance of the land over the people.
1664	Important to live in a visually appealing place
1665	Important to wildlife and ecosystems
1666	Improve access to mountians and desert areas.
1667	Improve and beautify Downtown
1668	Improve city parks – wild / natural spaces
1669	Improve environment
1670	Improve environment - less cars
1671	Improve environment with shorter driving
1672	Improve security and aesthetics
1673	Improve view for tourist entry corridors to the City
1674	Improve water security for the environment
1675	In Santa Fe, they have rules against tall buildings
1676	In Summer - you can look forward to Tubing the Salt river or hanging out at Patagonia Lake (In high school, we would ditch and go to Sabino Canyon) In the fall - you can quad in Sonoita along miles of mountain tops, In winter - Mt. Lemmon has amazing views - Greer, AZ offers so much opportunity if you fish the Black River....
1677	In Tucson it can easily take 50 minute's or more to get to a friend's home. In most large cities with 500,000 to 1,000,000 million people, a 50 minute car ride would take you to a whole new town to visit a friend. Our city needs to improve the travel corridors with 'spokes' that radiate from the base of the mountains that the town surrounds for better car travel, and light rail links to hubs in every reagion of the city.
1678	In Tucson we have all 4 regions of mountains very close to us - usually within 30 minutes maximum drive time to be IN the mountain regions enjoying picnic areas and hiking trails or tram rides or sunset lookouts. You are never far from an outdoor experience!
1679	In Tucson, I would like to be able to walk from one place to the other without being drained by the desert sun.
1680	In Tucson, we can live in the mountain foothills with the native desert flora and fauna, and yet nearby have a vibrant urban community of fascinating people and high artistic and scientific achievements.
1681	In a way, I've been in a desert most of my life -- figuratively speaking. I suppose I like the desert because the plants and creatures make the most of what they have. Tucson seems to be full of survivors, also the human kind.
1682	In general, it seems like people in this region are more aware of the fact that they live in the desert and are more concerned with how they respond to that fact.
1683	In order for Tucson to grow, the business climate must change. I think there needs to be a mindset change for this to occur.
1684	In other cities our size getting around without a car is easy and fun. I love not having to worry about driving and enjoying the scenery. In Tucson we need to invest in light rail and/or add another hub to the bus system.
1685	In our lives we work from sun up and sundown at times, it is nice to walk out the door and see something other then steel and concrete.
1686	In the desert but a short distances away if Shohlow, white mountains, mount lemmon, lake powell....beautiful getaways
1687	In the past 2-years of living here, I have so many stories to tell
1688	In the past 20 years, I've seen winters get warmer and summer nights get hotter due to the heat island effect. We are significantly changing our micro-climate in ways that will get worse with climate change.
1689	Includes the landscape, mountains, access to the out of doors, hiking, walking etc.
1690	Increase the sense of wonder – hard to be arrogant when you look at Mt. Lemmon
1691	Incredible nature / climate
1692	Inspiration from the landscape, improves quality of life
1693	Insure that buildings, signs and infrastructure do not impact this.
1694	Integration of natural aspects into the community
1695	Interesting and exotic plants and wildlife, which can be found here. There is a large biodiversity
1696	Intergration of natural enviroment and city living
1697	Invasive species like buffelgrass have the potential to completely obliterate the landscapes that have made this such a special place. We need to act now.
1698	Invest in shade (Plant trees, hang awnings, etc.)
1699	Is the ability to enjoy sunshine and be outdoors, much of the year.
1700	Is the climate, except this winter
1701	Is the desert area, air is clean and blue skies
1702	Is the environment
1703	Is the weather
1704	Isn't just hot or cold, always an inbetween.
1705	It adds economic value
1706	It allows me to enjoy outdoor activities
1707	It allows me to get out of the city and into nature, hiking the trails, and enjoying beautiful scenery.
1708	It allows us to live outdoor more
1709	It attracts a lot of people, its' beautiful and very comfortable
1710	It attracts animals I enjoy
1711	It attracts many people to Tucson
1712	It brings a good atmosphere to the city
1713	It brings businesses
1714	It brings joy and delight every time I see a sun set, the mountains from various angles and locations throughout the region.
1715	It brings tourism
1716	It can be used to generate clean solar energy
1717	It can be very nice here.
1718	It contributes positively to our health.
1719	It contributes to our overall quality of life
1720	It creates an opportunity for both visual beauty and recreation.
1721	It defines “this place”
1722	It does have hot and cold spells but overall is comfortable year round.
1723	It doesn't snow
1724	It dosen't get much better than this.
1725	It floods when it rains. It's madness to drive on the roads. Also the roads are very bumpy and not bike friendly.
1726	It fuels my passion, creativity, and life. It inspires and physically impacts my sense of self and relationship to the planet. So many different birds! Having just moved down 1 year ago from Seattle, the amount of sunshine we get here is abundantly joyful. Love being able to savor the outdoors 365 days of the year.
1727	It gives me a feeling of space and thus of my individual possibilities and being.
1728	It gives me the ability to stay in shape while enjoying the weather and the scenery
1729	It gives one a feeling of openness, expansiveness and spirituality.
1730	It has a lot of Saguaro cacti
1731	It has become harder to access the surrounding mountains and desert for the fences and private ownership. It is harder now to get high up (especially in the foothills) and be able to park and see the sunsets.
1732	It has been a healthy economy, until lately. I need wild lands near my home. I greatly value the University. The climate is great.
1733	It has the 4 seasons
1734	It hasn't been spoiled; it's protected
1735	It helps create an awareness that things around us, e.g., nature and other creatures, are important. Builds an appreciation of beauty.
1736	It helps orient me
1737	It is 3 or 4 hours to the mountains or the beach
1738	It is a beautiful region, the mountains are and the developing trail system are accessible.
1739	It is a better reason to live here
1740	It is a place that showcases the natural beauty of Tucson and is a place where people can meet up, so it supports community.
1741	It is a pleasure to live in a beautiful place, where the natural beauty of the sky and mountains can be seen and enjoyed from all areas of the city every day. You don't have to be wealthy and live in a privileged area to be able to see the Catalinas or view a sunset. There are many public hiking trails in the desert and mountains. It's very important that Tucsonans have protected a lot of this land to maintain healthy ecosystems and to keep it publicly accessible, and we need to continue to do this.
1742	It is a unique, spiritual, and magical natural environment that needs protection. This is the only place in the world for this unique desert environment and native magestic, giant saguaros. It is a total celebration of one of mother earth's unique resource charms.
1743	It is always nice and relaxing
1744	It is always peaceful to gaze at the Catalinas or look out at the desert. Gives our city a unique, more tranquil feel and sets us apart from Phoenix.
1745	It is always wonderful to look out on the Catalina Mountains. And there is nothing quite so beautiful as an Arizona sunset in January.
1746	It is an eye sore and does not reflect well on our community in the eyes of visitors
1747	It is beautiful and it sustains our community via ecosystem services. I also like the unusual look of our landscapes.
1748	It is calming to be in the out of doors so quickly or even to just see the mountains, sky, clouds, light and shadows.
1749	It is crucial that we safeguard Tucson's natural beauty, and become an example of environmental awareness for the rest of the country
1750	It is destroying the aesthetics of our area, the habitat of the animals, and the areas I enjoy hiking
1751	It is difficult to pull out into traffic from San Mateo Apartments when you can't see oncoming (southbound) traffic because of brush. When making a u-turn to travel north, it is hard to see oncoming (northbound) traffice because of the plants in the median.
1752	It is disheartening to see so many 'crackerjack' tract homes built on bladed-over pristine desert when there is so much infill land still to use.
1753	It is easy to find people who like to do things and appreciate the desert's beauty. This is a repeat, but I really appreciate how many areas I can get to on my bike and still have a bike lane.
1754	It is everywhere in Tucson, even in some of the nicest areas. It makes our beautiful city look trashy.
1755	It is gorgeous!
1756	It is hard to escape the heat of the summer, having more splash pads around would help.
1757	It is horse friendly
1758	It is hot
1759	It is important for Tucson to be a green city. It's easier for people to enjoy the environment with more plants.
1760	It is important to keep the natural enviroment which brings most people to Tucson. The outdoors is very much the character of Tucson.
1761	It is important to me because it's unique and beautiful
1762	It is important to me that there are free public events to celebrate the Diversity of Tucson and to bring the community together. I would like see some free, larger musical concerts during the nice weather in Tucson. Check out Albany, N.Y.'s summer time music series or New Orleans spring time free concert series.
1763	It is important to me that we appreciate and nurture our unique native environment and allow the desert and footills to flourish, maintaining interesting and lovely access trails to backcountry, and controlling urban spread that would simply turn this area into a sprawling city with few wilderness areas left.
1764	It is important to me to live in a way that helps conserve our precious natural resources. I would like to see the city stress recycling at a business and home level as well as highly encouraging water conservation. New buildings should be required to be built using strict water and energy conservation standards. After all, we are living in the desert!
1765	It is inspiring to wake up every morning and look at the mountains and see our surroundings - saguaro cactus and other beautiful vegetation, interesting wildlife, beautiful sunrises and sunsets
1766	It is less irresponsible to have grass lawns in the desert.
1767	It is like a resort most of the year
1768	It is nice and warm
1769	It is nice to be able to see the beautiful hills surrounding Tucson. It is a relaxing, calming and peace of mind.
1770	It is nice to drive around Tucson and see the mountains. Helps relieve stress. Helps keep nature in mind and keep in mind good habits like recycling etc.
1771	It is nice to feed them so that we may enjoy the close proximity
1772	It is nice to have it hot most of the year. You do not need a lot of different seasonal clothes. Also driving is easier without snow.
1773	It is nice to see mountains every day.
1774	It is one of the only areas where saguaro grow
1775	It is our primary asset. If this isn't preserved then there is nothing here.
1776	It is perfect year round for me
1777	It is pleasant and sunny most of the year.
1778	It is pleasant to be outdoors most of the year, and we get plenty of light! Our natural environment is inspiring.
1779	It is possible to be in the city, with all it conveniences (and traffic) at one moment, and a short time later, be away from it all and in touch with nature in Sabino Canyon, or Mount Lemmon, or the Desert Museum.
1780	It is pretty; beautiful
1781	It is sad to see the beauty of the Catalinas - for example - marred by houses creeping up the foothills.
1782	It is simply beautiful here
1783	It is so beautiful and so unusual. I love the narrated tram rides.
1784	It is so close to drive 20 minutes and be in the desert to go hiking
1785	It is such a blessing to wake up every morning with this incredible weather. Because of our weather we are able to have a city that is vibrant with opportunity for health and well being. The weather factor really helps make my first two choices of what I like best about Tucson go full circle...we are able to attract Docs, professors, and leaders due to our weather...I think it is a major factor in their decision to live here and enjoy our lifestyle.
1786	It is such a wonderful place to enjoy throughout the year. It provides a number of different recreational activities and it's beuty and tranquility are unmatched in the immediate area. I was born and raised in Tucson and some of my fondest memories of growing up here involve camping, hiking, climbing, and playing in the snow on Mt Lemmon!!
1787	It is the astronomy capital of the world.
1788	It is the diversity of the views & the natural environment as well as the diversity of the people & cultures that all come togehter to make our uniquely own melting pot.
1789	It is the one thing that makes Tucson unique and also the very thing that made me buy a house here 5 years ago. Natural beauty
1790	It is the open spaces, trail and wildlife corridors and general rural atmosphere.
1791	It is very easy to leave your front door and enjoy the outdoors by hiking, riding your bike, etc.
1792	It is very nice to see the sun and mountains and climb the mountains
1793	It is very sad to see the Sonoran Desert destroyed by development when in-filling opportunities and re-use of previously disturbed land is available. Tucson is spreading like Phoenix and we will lose our attraction to tourists and our own quality of life if we loose too much desert.
1794	It is within driving distance so if i need to get away colder places i have a place to go easily
1795	It is wonderful to live in a climate where you wake up to blue skies and warm weather almost every day. I love the natural beauty of the desert and the mountains.
1796	It lifts my mood to see the mountains and the sky and I enjoy being able to enjoy activities outside almost year-round.
1797	It makes for a better quality of life; not having to deal with major rush hour traffic or inclement weather.
1798	It makes it comfortable to live in Arizona
1799	It makes it easier to enjoy the days of winter.
1800	It makes me feel happy and lets me enjoy more outdoor activities all year around. I hate the cold. It is depressing.
1801	It makes me feel healthier
1802	It makes me feel that this is a special place with special people
1803	It makes me happy
1804	It makes me happy to see sunlight year round.
1805	It makes me healthier
1806	It makes my heart sing.
1807	It makes the others usable
1808	It marks the seasons, supports the tourism and wildlife I value, it is timeless and will outlast anything created by humans.
1809	It must be the mountains, but there are a very large number of people who have an interest in and respect for the outdoors/environment. It is what attracted us to Tucson originally.
1810	It never gets really cold
1811	It provides me multiple opportunities to practice my hobby of photography, and hone my skills.
1812	It provides us with Vitamin D
1813	It really is a limited resource; once it's gone, it's gone. The quiet is great
1814	It saddens me to see the desert disappearing under housing developments. If I had wanted to live in a congested urban environment, I'd have moved to Phoenix.
1815	It seems that the City of Tucson has no common character, the various parts of the city have very different architecture, landscape, and traffic/pedestrian flow. It would be nice to have some integration and bring more of the Sonoran Desert into the urban areas.
1816	It seems that we have forgotten that we live in one of the most amazing deserts in the world, our city landscaping does not often reflect the plants and character of the surrounding Sonoran Desert (far too many non-native species and lawns).
1817	It takes away from the desert and mountain areas, limits precious natural resources, & dimishes the community feeling. I live dowtown and notice all the empty residential and commercial spaces here and in midtown. It looks blighted.
1818	It was rainy and cold where I lived before, I like the change.
1819	It will better help the environment
1820	It's a beautiful and it's unique
1821	It's a beautiful area and I appreciate seeing the Catalina Mountains in the background--even from my home and work in the midtown area.
1822	It's a beautiful place - within minutes you can be hiking in a canyon in total seclusion. There's so much to see and do and luckily weather permits us to get outside most of the year.
1823	It's a beautiful place and a wonder to enjoy
1824	It's a beautiful place to live.
1825	It's a desert
1826	It's a dry heat
1827	It's a main reason for being here
1828	It's a smaller community located in a warmweather climate
1829	It's a unique feature on the planet. The climate related to the desert is wonderful. The monsoons and corresponding smells of the desert and wonderful sunsets are unparalleled elsewhere in the U.S
1830	It's about the quality of life. I want to see the natural environment at the end of the work week. It improves the quality of life visually and for health
1831	It's always nice here and it is important to me, to be outside and get fresh air and I can do that mostly everyday here
1832	It's amazing that an area with Monsoons has inadequate drainage, causing flooding, especially in the downtown area.
1833	It's beautiful
1834	It's beautiful and fun to be in
1835	It's beautiful here, the mountains, climate and overall atmosphere.
1836	It's beautiful, unique, not found anywhere else, peaceful especially when hiking or cyclying, and also our strongest asset as a region since it attracts visitors, residents and thus needs to be protected.
1837	It's beauty is both grand and subtle, and gives me a sense of belonging to something peaceful and bigger than myself.
1838	It's bipolar and flippy-floppy
1839	It's clear Democratic politics, focus on the environment and other vital social issues
1840	It's climate
1841	It's cold, dark, and/or, humid elsewhere
1842	It's difficult to single out one thing that is personally so important to me about Tucson because it is a combination of things that make it such a great place to live. And while most of southern Arizonas weather has an attraction to someone who spent my first 35 years in Detroit, Michigan, Tucson perhaps the best Southern Arizona weather of them all. The altitude gives us a weather advantage over the Greater Phoenix area and certainly over Southwestern Arizona (Yuma).
1843	It's easy living here... No storm windows, snow tires, leaves to rake... Leaves more time for leisure and enjoyment.
1844	It's extremely important to me that as we grow we incorporate our natural desert beauty in our expansion of the city. I believe that we can co-exist with our natural resources in a fashion that will leave something of beauty behind to our descendants.
1845	It's got a workable climate
1846	It's great having mild weather most of the year, although summers can be very long. While not retired, I am older so the mild weather matters alot. Sometimes dust can be a problem, but otherwise the air is cleaner than many other major cities/communities.
1847	It's healthier to have less pollution, to be able to see the stars, the mountains (I am concerned about pollution because I have asthma)
1848	It's healthy
1849	It's hot in the summer but not like Phoenix. It never too cold in the winter and some years you can play in the snow in the morning on Mt. Lemmon and swim in the afternoon down here in town.
1850	It's how I relate to the world: a personal relationship with the world through the environment
1851	It's importance is obvious. We, I, need water to live. Tucson's dependence on the dwindling waters of the Colorado River is absurd. While we've only been receiving an average of 10 inches a year for the past 10 or so, we've done nothing to make that water work for us. Water harvesting, both passive (earth works) and active (household cisterns) can drastically reduce, if not one day completely erase our need for water from other states. Water policy such as limiting golf courses, eradicating fountains and lawns, financial incentives for low use fixtures, and 'no water' days like they have in many states, are a start. This is also environmentally important and the environment is important to me.
1852	It's important for me to live in proximity to unspoiled nature. I couldn't live in a place where it wasn't possible to be able to be alone in the wilderness close to where I live.
1853	It's important to get out into nature to remember my self spiritually and physically. I also value it as a place for other beings i.e. animals to live
1854	It's important to me to live in a place that is naturally beautiful and that has access to outdoor activities (e.g., hiking)
1855	It's important to understand and celebrate our cultures and heritage and the fact that we are all beautiful
1856	It's in my blood
1857	It's inspirational, enriching, part of our oultlook on life, it teaches us lessons of adaptation and survival; it's resilient; beautiful in a different way.
1858	It's inspiring. As an artist, this area is eye and soul candy! Few places on the earth hold the beauty found here.
1859	It's just miserable!
1860	It's like a museum; it's so unique it needs to be preserves like a piece of artwork
1861	It's location in the Sonoran desert
1862	It's neat to look up at, and I think it's quite educational
1863	It's nice
1864	It's nice here all year long. This aspect of where we live is what draws people to our community
1865	It's nice here in the Winter
1866	It's nice to fly in to Tucson and see how the mountains seem to cradle the city and protect it.
1867	It's nice to live, surrounded by beauty. I am inspired by the sunny desert, and star-filled skies
1868	It's not cold
1869	It's our life-breath: clean air and clean water
1870	It's peaceful; relaxed
1871	It's pretty rare that the rain spoils your events.
1872	It's so important to protect our wild places.
1873	It's so nice to have nice weather and not be cold and have to shovel snow. It's easier on people.
1874	It's so pretty
1875	It's special, few places you can see so far, but it is surrounded by mountains; and each mountain is unique
1876	It's the desert - conserve, conserve, conserve
1877	It's too hot to be out running errands duringthe day
1878	It's ugly and hard to get around town. I also want to stop Tucson from spreading out into the desert.
1879	It's unique and beautiful
1880	It's unique and very special
1881	It's unique to us
1882	It's unpleasant to drive miles from point to point - uglier, hotter, drier
1883	It's very beautiful because of the butterflies.
1884	It's what makes Tucson unique
1885	It's what makes Tucson unique, it's Tucson's identity
1886	It's why we came here
1887	It's why we live here
1888	It's wonderful to live in a beautiful place and take in the mountains and the sunsets. It gives a person a sense of calm.
1889	It's wonderful to wake up to good weather, to see beautiful landscape and to be close to a variety of beautiful environments within a few hours.
1890	Its beautifully put together and it educates people about important environmental issues for the sonoran desert
1891	Its beauty
1892	Its beauty, its easy accessibility, and climate. A ten minute drive to a beautiful hike
1893	Its ecology
1894	Its flora and fauna. Very interesting nature and scenery
1895	Its great that we have so many bike paths and encourage riding bikes. especially since its a much healthier choice for people and the environment. i'm glad to see this live style growing and continue to grow.
1896	Its mountains, desert and varied landscape
1897	Its natural beauty
1898	Its taking up land for other species, and increasing our reliance on private cars and killing the heart of the city.
1899	Its ugly (new and old buildings), especially when you contrast it with the beautiful desert environment and mountains. It gives the impression that we don't care about this place.
1900	Its weather
1901	Its wholeness, friendly people, wonderful weather, cultural richness,open society
1902	It’s who we are/who I am
1903	Job creation is a beauty contest- we lose because we don't have the depth of services in this community - for example, education
1904	Jumping Cactus
1905	Just because we live in a desert, doesn't mean we need to sprawl. We do need to incorporate light rail, infill building, and we need to control population expansion.
1906	Just keep your head down (and stay indoors) during June, July and August. Other than that, we are the smartest people in the country for living here: abundant sunshine, warm weather, little rain but a beautiful desert and atmosphere.
1907	Just look around the weather map should give this answer
1908	Just looking at the mountains is a constant inspiration.
1909	Keep more desert build less buildings
1910	Keep the environment clean
1911	Keep/improve public access to mountains and desert
1912	Keeping the sky clear and free from light pollution is very important for night time viewing.
1913	Kids noticing sunset, mountains
1914	Kitt Peak, Mt Lemmon Sky Center, UA astronomy programs, Mt Hopkins, Mt Graham
1915	LOTS OF RURAL AREAS, NOT BIG CONGESTED AREA. EASY TO GET 'AWAY' FOR THE DAY FROM CITY TO MOUNTAINS OR DESERT OR GRASSLANDS.
1916	Lack of natural disasters
1917	Lack of planning hurts us all
1918	Lack of shade/lack of vegetation
1919	Lack of slush, mud and below zero temps (no slush or mud at that temp, but you get the idea)
1920	Lack of snow, access to the desert, and its relatively pristine and conserved condition.
1921	Lack of social services: We have a large transient population - people need resources in order to be helped. Our parks are a good example. Water management: we are a desert and I see many, many golf courses. Need I say more?
1922	Land protected by prior generations
1923	Landmarks like the Desert Museum, DeGracia Gallery in the Sun, A Mountain, Tucson Museum of Art, Miniatures Museum, Sahuaro National Forest, and the observatories and museums on the U of A campus are great places for citizens and visitors of this city to experience.
1924	Landscape
1925	Landscape - plants, mountains, etc.
1926	Landscape and mountains
1927	Landscape/climate
1928	Landscaping
1929	Landscaping provides people with a feeling of serenity, especially native plant materials.
1930	Large suburban sprawls are neither healthy for the environment nor for the people that live there
1931	Layout of the town with nature
1932	Leave as much of the old Tucson as is left. Adobe houses and desert is what makes Tucson attractive - not McMansions.
1933	Leaves fall and they rake them up for us. I don't miss the 4 seasons
1934	Less air pollution
1935	Less homes in the mountains
1936	Less sprawl out and more improvements to used and older parts of Tucson. Stop encroaching on the desert, clearning land for mega stores. Needs to be more restoration of existing strucures
1937	Less trash on the roadside and desert
1938	Less whimpiness about the weather
1939	Less winter
1940	Liberal pocket in conservative state (socially, environmentally…)
1941	Life in the desert brings you close to life and death
1942	Life is generally easier in good weather regarding transportation and enjoying the out-of-doors.
1943	Like heat; don't like cold
1944	Like living in a National Park
1945	Like many others i love our mountains, our sunsets, our cacti and our creatures. i like that we take pride in that aspect of Tucson, since its a very unique one. i hope we continue to protect them!
1946	Like mined people and ability to reconnect with nature daily
1947	Like most the weather
1948	Like sunshine and better for my health.
1949	Like the diversity of cultures, weather, community size. Allows opportunity to be out year-round, interact with may perspectives, and make personal connections with place and people.
1950	Like the fall, winter, and spring weather - October through April
1951	Like the heat and all the sunny days. Summers aren't as bad as you might think, and the rest of the year is great.
1952	Like the sunshine and warm winters.
1953	Like warm winters- able to get out to natual areas almost year-round
1954	Limit political campaign signage
1955	Line neighborhood streets with trees
1956	Link the economy to the environment e.g. Rio Nuevo, Bird Watching
1957	Live in inner city neighborhood near U of A, beautiful historic buildings. Must have thoughtful infill planning. Must not destroy historic homes for innappropriate buildings in R-1 areas.
1958	Lived in Phoenix and am renewed here by nature
1959	Lived in a cold weather midwest area
1960	Lived in cold climates for many years
1961	Lived in mid west and it was flat, really missed the mountains. Openess of Tucson
1962	Lived in the cold snowy east. Glad I don't have to deal with that and that the pollution level isn't a major factor here.
1963	Lived through some pretty major earthquakes and a major flood. The fact that there's no tornadoes, earthquakes, major floods- is a pretty nice redeeming quality of a place to put down roots.
1964	Living in 250+ days of sunshine, I believe we can utilize solar power energy and making Tucson more green.
1965	Living in Chicago. Climate here is more conducive to my health.
1966	Living in a valley surrounded by mountains has had a profound effect on me. The colors as the light changes throughout the day are beautiful.
1967	Living in a warm climate is important to me because I have a chronic medical condition that requires me to live in a warm area.
1968	Living in the Sonoran desert
1969	Living in the desert and having the ability to see the mountains that surround Tucson is very beautiful.
1970	Living in this moderate climate allows an active family such as mine, the advantage of enjoying more camping, fishing, boating, and hiking. We moved from the midwest many years ago and have tripled our outdoor experiences.
1971	Living outdoors. Hiking, Swimming, outdoor social events.
1972	Living space expanded beyond home
1973	Living trees should be cherished and protected like saguaros.
1974	Locale and weather
1975	Location
1976	Location between the 4 sky islands is great for beauty and getting out and enjoying the locale.
1977	Location in the desert
1978	Location where the desert and mountains are easily accessable
1979	Location/geography
1980	Location/weather
1981	Long winters in the midwest.
1982	Look to the historical and natural nature of the community and be very careful what is changed or proposed to be changed in the name of 'progress' or 'economic necessity'. These are the easy mistakes made by the politicians to placate the public or those controlling the purse strings.
1983	Looking at the Catalina Mountains
1984	Looking at the mountains helps to put things into perspective for me. They remind me everyday there are things greater then myself. I also like how the houses and other establishments are one level so that i can see the mountains.
1985	Looking at the mountains.
1986	Looks nice
1987	Loss of flowing rivers
1988	Lot's of mountains
1989	Lots of interesting places - environment and cultural events.
1990	Lots of native land
1991	Lots of natural areas, like blocks square in size. People need space to relax and be quiet.
1992	Lots of natural environment to complement the city
1993	Lots of nature/desert around
1994	Lots of open space, room for nature, wildlife, the desert, viewscape, trails for walkers and horse-back riders to get out in the wild lands.
1995	Lots of people care about environment
1996	Lots of sun, few biting insects and evaporation actually works here.
1997	Lots of sunshine
1998	Lots of sunshine - I feel 'alive' here.
1999	Lots of sunshine makes me feel good every day.
2000	Lots of sunshine!
2001	Lots of sunshine. Seeing the mountains everyday.

2005	Love of sunset/sunrise colors
2006	Love sitting on porch and looking at them

2023	Love the weather
2024	Love the weather - the ability to be outside most of the year
2025	Love the weather!
2026	Love the year round mild weather. This makes staying active and healthy attainable year round.
2027	Love to be warm and outdoors
2028	Love to get out and do outdoor activities in the Sunny weather. Love the outdoors events throughout the year here in Tucson.
2029	Love to go hiking, etc. Summer climate: try to escape, usually succeed
2030	Love walking in desert and the Desert Museum.
2031	Lovely place to live
2032	MAKES HAPPIER PEOPLE
2033	MOUNTAINS
2034	Magically make summer 20 degrees cooler
2035	Majestic views
2036	Major streets – lack of beauty or architectural cohesion – Does not compliment our natural beauty (Speedway, Broadway, Grant, 22nd)
2037	Make Tucson more pedestrian friendly by planting trees along streets.
2038	Make commercial and residential areas more visually more appealing
2039	Make it a better appearing area
2040	Makes Tucson unique, eclectic and a great place to live
2041	Makes diabetes easier to manage, makes breathing easier
2042	Makes for nice days
2043	Makes getting outdoors when I want more plesant, enjoy swimming in the summer and not spending time shoveling snow in winter
2044	Makes it easy to go outdoors year round.
2045	Makes living easier and more time to be outside
2046	Makes me happy to live in such a beautiful place
2047	Makes this place unique
2048	Makes us feel good
2049	Makes you feel like you belong
2050	Making sure the habitats for our wildlife stay intact and are safeguarded.
2051	Many choices for enjoying nature are right in and around Tucson. The mountains provide great hiking and even our dry rivers with pathways are a great stroll in the evening.
2052	Many do not appreciate the beauty of our desert environment, its diversity, the plants, the birds and animals.
2053	Many neighborhoods and streets are dirty. there is trash everywhere. it not only looks ugly but it is not good for the environment.
2054	Many options for outdoor activities
2055	Many streets have very ugly medians/shoulders/sidewalks with overgrown plants, weeds, garbage and are very bad eyesores. many roads desperately need to be fixed, especially around the airport, thats the first impression many visitors get.
2056	May be our biggest challenge and asset
2057	Maybe it is too costly and too late to build a cross town freeway for cars, but why can't we build a cross town system of freeways for bicycles and walkers. Other cities have this and it really helps give the city class. We have the weather for bike transportation, now let's get the infrastructure.
2058	Meaningful valuation of natural capital – putting economic value on health, education, sustainability
2059	Mexican diversity, wildlife and human
2060	Mild (usually) winter weather
2061	Mild Winter
2062	Mild but varied enough with periods of cool weather.
2063	Mild conditions for year round activities. Proximity to desert and mountains.
2064	Mild temps in winter, moutains, landscape
2065	Mild weather
2066	Mild weather most of the year

2069	Mild winter great fall and spring weather.Summer is tolerable.
2070	Mild winter seasons
2071	Mild winters (mostly), beautiful springs and falls.
2072	Mild winters compared to midwest
2073	Mild, not as hot as Phoenix, especially in the evenings (we cool down more), and the highs are not as hot so we can spend more months outside with our kids (hikes on weekends and sports activities during the school year).
2074	Military aircraft endanger citizens and denigrates the quality of life of people who live and work in the central city, and is destructive to the environment. If indeed the City of Tucson is serious about strengthening the central city and IGT is serious about encouraging greater densities in the central city, then this issue must be confronted and the planes must be re-directed away from the most populated areas.
2075	Millions are spent to re-do roads with no improvement. How wide must bike lanes be? A perfect example is the latest construction on Sunrise- a 2 year disaster that did nothing but place large power poles to block the most scenic area in the region!
2076	Mine (Rosemont)- damage to land, water, air, not as much local economic development
2077	Minimal cold weather and marvelous monsoons
2078	Moderate Climate
2079	Moderate climate
2080	Moderate climate year round
2081	Monsoon preparedness
2082	Monsoon season
2083	Monsoon season all summer and Tucson still doesn't have a drainage system.
2084	Monsoons.
2085	More awareness of the fragility of the desert.
2086	More bike friendly routes and community gardens
2087	More community beautification
2088	More emphasis on environment
2089	More green
2090	More healthy
2091	More is not necessarily better. The indiscriminate development of the area is going to ruin the very thing that makes Tucson so attractive: its open and protected desert spaces that are easily accessible to all. But this desert ecosystem is fragile and must be protected from development and any other kind of overuse.
2092	More lively and beautiful and safe downtown area
2093	More middle of the road or liberal direction would the rape of our desert that is taking place in the name of making money and irresponsible capitalism
2094	More mountain biking trails
2095	More natural desert land set aside
2096	More naturally beautiful parks in the city
2097	More opportunities for dog lovers
2098	More options to be outdoors and quiet
2099	More people are coming
2100	More plants
2101	More protection of the scenic beauty of the area.
2102	More restrictions on building into the desert
2103	More shade - plant trees and develop shade systems
2104	More time to enjoy the outdoors
2105	More trees
2106	More trees & shaded areas
2107	More trees - for air and birds
2108	More trees and walkways so I can walk when it's hot.
2109	More trees.
2110	More water harvesting & native trees
2111	Most Tucson residents are kind, respectful of others, family oriented, seek to be educated and realize the value of the area for its beauty and contribution to good health.
2112	Most biodiverse region in the entire country. Wildlife variety here is off the charts and speaks to #1 in this section: without intact ecosystems, the wildlife disappears.
2113	Most biodiversity in this region than any other region of US. Beautiful mountains, canyons, even creeks just a few miles from urban center
2114	Most days are pleasant. I don't suppose you can improve that any. It beats dealing with the wind-chill index
2115	Most days are sunny and clear. I hate gloomy weather. Love the mountains and desert. It give the region character. It is not flat and boring like so many other places with nice weather. You can see for miles which is great for me because I suffer from claustrophobia.
2116	Most days the weather is pleasant enough to take advantage of the outdoors.
2117	Most important is the fact that Tucson is basically surrounded by mountains, and this is a major redeeming factor
2118	Most of my friends and I strive to live healthy and active lifestyles. One of the advantages to living in Arizona is that of good weather the majority of the year - it only makes sense to have outdoor and natural recreational opportunities available.
2119	Most of the new developments in Tucson are right out of the Southern California playbook; no architectural style or sense of the desert. So are our commercial spaces. Ugh.
2120	Most of the year can enjoy outdoor activities, such as walking, hiking, jogging.
2121	Most of the year, it is super nice for me and my kids to be outside.
2122	Most of the years we have warmer waether that allows me to use my pool and have meaningful outdoor activities.
2123	Most people choose Tucson because of its weather; so did my husband and I.
2124	Most unique smell in the e world - creosote bush before it rains
2125	Most valuable resource
2126	Mostly sunny with an occasional storm. Clear skies at night - the stars are awesome! Don't need to shovel snow here.

2200	Move toward sustainable desert living
2201	Moved here for my health. No longer get pneumonia and pleurisy every year.
2202	Moved here from Alaska and while the summers are hot, the winters are wonderful. Proximity to good hiking and outdoor activities, even snow, make Tucson an excellent place to live, play and enjoy life.
2203	Moved here from Florida after growing up in the northeast. There are more days/year to be comfortable outside
2204	Moved here last year from Chicago - Illinois is one of the flattest states with no beautiful sunrises or sunsets!
2205	Moving forward in a positive ways will help to mitigate climate change
2206	Moving from a snow belt, I appreciate weather more than I ever did in the past. Even when it's cold, it's still sunny and bright. Were else in the country can you do 'sweater weather' for most of the winter!
2207	Mt. Lemmon
2208	Mt. Lemmon is a valuable get-away from the desert heat.
2209	Mt. Lemmon, hiking trails, surrounded by mountains
2210	My Mom has arthritis. This weather is kinder to her condition. None of us have to shovel snow.
2211	My beautiful mountains. I enjoy the climate.
2212	My body does not adjust well to the cold weather
2213	My business requires a warm dry climate
2214	My disability check is small and I am very grateful to have a wonderful place to live. (Tucson House) it is high quality. I like the quiet and the views
2215	My dog is my companion and would like him to accompany me to more places and events.
2216	My family and I are able to spend more time outdoors.
2217	My family loves to go hiking on Finger Rock, Pontatoc, and Sabino Canyon trails. Its a fun way to bond with each other and connect with nature.
2218	My first 22 years were in Michigan...need I say more?
2219	My first impression of Tucson moving here 20 years ago was the lack of those horrible orange-like street lighting that floods most urban areas. It is so nice to go out of my house just south of downtown and see stars!
2220	My first priority, actually. Quit blading the desert and focus on infill
2221	My friend lives right across the wash and my mother wont let me go across becaue it is unsafe
2222	My friends from church support me encourage and provide social activities. If my church and friends did not lieve here I would move to a cooler climate.
2223	My love of the outdoors and the natural world
2224	My response is really important personally to me, I just really enjoy the weather in Tucson being from a more humid area.
2225	My sons enjoy exploring the desert.
2226	My wife and I enjoy the outdoors. We live in midtown, but a thirty-minute drive takes us to trailheads in any of three directions from midtown. After ten minutes of hiking, we can--depending upon the trail--leave civilization behind and become immersed in solitude.
2227	My wife and I grew up in California and lived for twenty years in the Northeast. We appreciate the ease of living in a sunny climate and prefer our ocasionally stormy weather to the drizzles we have experienced elsewhere.
2228	My wife and I have found that our minds & bodies no longer can tolerate the cold - gray winter days found in our native mid-western states.
2229	My wife and I like to take drives and photos.
2230	My wife and moved to Tucson 10 years ago to escape the harsh winters in the Chicago area.
2231	My wife loves Bonsai, there is a society for it. I love bikes as I mentioned above. There are so many like minded people. It is a city with a small town feel
2232	NATURE
2233	NICE SPRING & FALL WEATHER
2234	NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO IN TUCSON NOTHING IS BUILT TO BLOCK THE VIEWS

2314	Nature awareness – wildlife – natural parks – open space
2315	Nature everywhere
2316	Nature is beautiful
2317	Nature is close by... I have a home in midtown area and one in 3 points. The best of both worlds
2318	Nature is important to me, so I want to see less development in the hinterlands and more development in the core of the city. Let's go taller and more efficiently, with fewer cars and more interactions among citizens. Spawl is such a drain on resources and interactions
2319	Nature is important to us and we recognize a need to protect and enjoy it. We spend a lot of time commenting on our beautiful mountains, sunsets and skies. We are aware that other people value our beauty. Sometime we are willing to exploit our good looks for personal gain, however. I spend a good deal of my free time hiking and enjoying nature. I would not want to live in a city where I could not go out into the wilderness.
2320	Nature is important to us...
2321	Nature is our “ocean front” property
2322	Nature is rejuvenating to the soul
2323	Nature is something that should be conserved
2324	Nature is very important to protect and allow to flourish. It is a huge reason why Tucson is so beautiful and appealing.
2325	Nature is visible nearby
2326	Nature more important than city/built environment
2327	Nature! We need it and it needs us to just lay off
2328	Nature's beauty and clean air
2329	Nature's handiwork is very pretty, maybe not as pretty as some other places, but better than most inner cities,
2330	Nature, nature, nature; The U of A allows for great opportunities and programs, draws people for the city and region. The U of A took initiative to ask Pres. Obama for a memorial service after Jan. 8, 2011- and the community came together after the tragedy.

2335	Nature: the mountains, the vegetation, the open spaces
2336	Near Mountains
2337	Near the mountains (all around us) and not that far from the Sea (Cortez) and Ocean (Pacific), yet high enough in altitude and rainfall that we can say 'lush desert' with a straight face!
2338	Nearness to Saguaro National Park, state parks, surrounding desert, opportunities for outdoor activities.
2339	Neat to see wildlife in your street or front yard and still live in an area where an assortment of jobs can be obtained
2340	Necessary elements are here for healthy family growth
2341	Necessary for my health
2342	Need a more vibrant city core for economic sustainability and social/environmental sustainability
2343	Need more affordable, reliable public transportation - less cars is better for our environment
2344	Need of infrastructure not to pressure natural environment
2345	Need shade for year round use (e.g., Brandi Fenton Park)
2346	Need to address/mitigate climate change
2347	Need to do better to protect our riparian areas, and protect the few remaining 'natural' areas around Tucson.
2348	Need to find a balance
2349	Need to keep the recreational purposes and beauty
2350	Need to make choices – conveniences, education & environment
2351	Need to make it more attractive...
2352	Need to preserve the environment
2353	Need to protect unique environment
2354	Need to reduce sprawl and its impact on the natural environment
2355	Need to take a better advantage of outdoor lifestyle through advertisement, solar power and tourism
2356	Needs to be controlled, we are a desert & can't support a large populatioin
2357	Neighborhood appearance important makes a difference
2358	Never worrying about the weather and year-round outdoor activities positively impact my quality of life.
2359	New technologies and the climate in Tucson should make us a leader in solar power. Through Pima Community College I built a solar hot water heater about 30 years ago - that has saved me lots of money in that time. I would like to see existing buildings (public and private) retrofitted for solar.
2360	Nice Winters
2361	Nice fall-winter-spring allows me to stay active when rest of country is cloistered indoors
2362	Nice little mountain town
2363	Nice scenery (Mountains)
2364	Nice sunny days most of the time
2365	Nice to not have to scrape car windows any more.
2366	Nice weather is self explanitory
2367	Nice weather most of the year
2368	Nice winters
2369	Nice winters! close summer escape to mt. lemmon
2370	Night sky visibility.
2371	Nine months out of the year the weather is nice, longer than many other regions across the country.
2372	No High Rises to block view
2373	No McMansions on the mountains
2374	No Snow able to bike outside
2375	No city with any age to it can rule out having to contend with some aging buildings. There are pockets of old buildings and junk collections that present an eyesore to me and travelers coming through Tucson on 1-10 and immediately off of I-10 and onto I-19. Our downtown and the immediate adjacent areas should reflect the culture of of this area. What ever happened to Rio Nuevo?
2376	No cold or snow.
2377	No cold weather hassles
2378	No drainage, a lot of flooding
2379	No extreme conditions
2380	No great potential disasters -- tornados, earthquakes, blizzards, etc.
2381	No humidity
2382	No hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or floods
2383	No ice & snow on the ground like the northern states
2384	No ice and snow - I come from somewhere with ice and snow and broke my ankle because of it. Lots more sunshine - got rid of my seasonal affective disorder. Low humidity is good for asthma. It's also easier to go places when the weather is nice
2385	No maintenance $$
2386	No matter where I go on vacation or for work, when I come home, I'm struck again by the beautiful scenery and temperate climate.
2387	No matter where you are living in most of Tucson, you can reach a relatively intact portion of the Sonoran Desert Biome in about 20 minutes.
2388	No matter where you are, in which direction you are headed, the view is great. And the weather can't be beat.
2389	No matter where you live in this community/region you can tie on some shoes and take a walk; hike a canyon, trail, or the side of a mountain; cycle; run; or meet in a park to get a little exercise. Fresh produce is availabe at Farmer's Markets around town and all of the local stores offer wonderful produce as well.
2390	No rain Out side activities
2391	No restrictions on plants sold for landscapes
2392	No shoveling snow or ice
2393	No snow
2394	No snow (decent weather) even the heat is ok

2396	No snow or severe winters
2397	No snow storms, hurricanes, tornadoes
2398	No snow to drive in
2399	No snow to shovel (originally from PA)
2400	No snow!
2401	No snow, ice, sleet. warm enough to not need a jacket most of the year
2402	No snow, no ice! Very little cold weather...
2403	No snow, no mowing lawns
2404	No snow. Can be outside, hike, ride bike 3 seasons of the year.
2405	No tornadoes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters
2406	No where else is there sonoran desert but here, it is harsh but beautiful it is the main reason I stay here
2407	Non-rainy warm weather.
2408	None of the extreme weather in the winter time and outdoor climate all year round
2409	Not a big fan of snow and cold.
2410	Not a long drive to get to the beach and the mountains
2411	Not being cold
2412	Not cold
2413	Not cold.
2414	Not freezing
2415	Not having lots of tall buildings makes the city feel more open and gives a good view of the mountains, sunrises, and sunsets.
2416	Not having to shovel snow!
2417	Not much else to brag about the city except for how it looks
2418	Not safe anymore
2419	Not so good in summer but other than that, its good.
2420	Not so much of the hussle-bussle that we lived in Chicago - people take the time here to notice the beauty of nature and tend to leave work to relax at home with their families
2421	Not so much parks, but neighborhood schoolyards are dead and not pleasant to play with your kids on.
2422	Not to hot (most of the time) and not to cold
2423	Not too cold
2424	Not too cold in the winter
2425	Not too cold, not too hot
2426	Not too cold, not too hot (most times) and I love the mountain views
2427	Not too cold, not too hot. Important to the desert
2428	Not too late to save our identity – don't blade the desert
2429	Not unlike the natural environment, diversity in the human environment fosters thriving community growth. A plurality of ideas and culture provides a contrast that constantly pushes us to grow as individuals and as a society. Multiculturalism is something Tucson is famous for, and promoting all of the cultures that create the fabric of our region should be a high priority. This also leads to great local restaurants!
2430	Nothing like being surrounded by mountains while nestled in a huge valley.
2431	Nothing like waking to birds singing and taking a deep breath with clean air and blue sky. What a great way to start the day.
2432	Nothing too unpredictable about the weather here so that's great for planning outdoor activities. Rarely any weather caused travel restrictions.
2433	Now who can complain about the great weather, moutains, and etc. All of God's natural wonders gives us the privlidge to be out in our natual environment
2434	Number 1 is health Number 2 is that we are not limited by season
2435	Number of days of sunshine, ability to be outside nearly everyday, beautiful Sonoran dessert, beautiful skies and sunsets, etc.
2436	Number of days per year that contain sun.
2437	OUtdoors living - mountains and open space
2438	Obviously, the weather
2439	Oct-April Weather, Mountain Ranges, Clear Night Skies, Sahuaro National Park
2440	Of course the weather....that's why we live in AZ
2441	Okay, i know it's hot, but there are 8 months of the best weather in the USA. And, all you have to do is stay in the air conditioning in the summer. It is great telling my friends back east that the weather is just great here.
2442	Okay, maybe this seems superficial, but I don't think it is: what is up with letting our streets, sidewalks and medians look like trash heaps? That says, in symbolism hard to miss, 'we are a trashy city.' What's up with spending money to design nice roads and medians, like River Road, and then letting them go to seed for two years before cleaning them up? Phoenix manages to have beautiful streets. I'm not suggesting the water waste of grassy medians and sidewalk landscaping like Scottsdale, but couldn't we manage some basic desert landscaping that's decently taken care of--the trash picked up (or not thrown out in the first place), and the weeds removed? Couldn't we make a push for keeping our streets and public places free of trash? I think this is more important than it seems, both for how we think about ourselves and our community, and what we invite the outside world to think of us.
2443	On a not so bright day, one only needs to take a short drive to gates pass or saguaro west to watch the sunset, a walk under the moon on Sabino Springs; a walk on coyote traveled paths in Saguaro East or Pantano Wash, or a hike up Mount Lemon, to brighten one's day.
2444	Once again, DIVERSITY! We have the harshest, most inhospitable, yet beautiful native habitat. Yet within a short distance, a pine forest, coastal region etc. . .
2445	Once the desert and water are gone, they cannot be replaced. We must protect these from both natural and economic invaders.
2446	One cannot live by city alone. Access to the natural world is a rejuvenating pastime that gives strength and power to the effort to survive.
2447	One of the best aspects of Tucson is great winter weather.... build those bike paths, trails and they will come. Preserve vegetation, care for animals and the environment and the region will always be cherished.
2448	One of the few places you have such beautiful desert, close mountains, and varied environments
2449	One of the most beautiful places on the planet.
2450	One of the most comfortable places to live
2451	One of the only wildlife corridors
2452	One that is heavily bent to my likes - environment and landscape. So that means a system that relies on alt modes where you can enjoy the environment: specifically walkability, bicycles, and the streetcar. (must be complemented with desert landscaping, water harvesting, etc)
2453	One thing I like most about Tucson is how it exists with the desert, instead of on top of it. You don’t see real desert anywhere in Phoenix, where I’m originally from. Instead it's either artificial desert landscaping or giant greenbelts and artificial lakes that for some reason are created to try to make Phoenix look like the Midwest/East Coast. I like how Tucson doesn’t have any of these pretensions. We live in a desert, we’re proud of it, and I like to see Tucson stay that way.
2454	Open air environment
2455	Open land with relatively intact ecosystems are important for me to spend time in. I wouldn't willingly live anywhere where this wasn't the case. The Sonoran Desert, Sky Island Mountain Ranges, and rivers like the San Pedro and Santa Cruz are truly unique and significant at a Continental scale. I do all I can and encourage others to do all they can to protect them.
2456	Open skies, desert and mtns
2457	Open space / w/beautiful mountain views, wildlife & dark skies
2458	Open space, desert, love the outdoors & want us to remain smaller with alot of open space besides there is not enough water to support a larger population
2459	Open space/mountains
2460	Open spaces and desert
2461	Open spaces, mountains, etc.
2462	Open' feel
2463	Open, beautiful cactus vegetation and mountains
2464	Open, preserved and protected desert spaces, cultural diversity, and a realtively relaxed community
2465	Openess
2466	Openess of the mountains and the sky, proximity to outdoors
2467	Oppoprtunity to recreate in diverse SW environments- diversity of plants and animals and landscapes
2468	Opportunities for hiking and moutain biking close to home. Close to wildlife and nature. Protected scenic views.
2469	Opportunities to stay active and appreciate nature
2470	Opportunity for outdoor activities and the weather
2471	Opportunity to do things outdoors nearly every day of the year.
2472	Opportunity to immerse oneself in fascinating undisturbed habitats
2473	Opportunity to re-create in the most beautiful settings on the planet - easy access to more beauty, well kept grounds, etc
2474	Opportunity to see wildlife
2475	Other than a few hot months, the weather is very pleasant. Very seldom have any drastic weather, ie tornados, hurricanes, snow, earthquakes etc.
2476	Other than a few summer thunderstorms, the weather is pretty stable.
2477	Other than the brutal summers the other seasons are outstanding. You could easily go the whole year in shorts and a big winter coat is not required here.
2478	Other than the dog days of summer, it's a great climate to live, play and work in
2479	Other than the hot summer months, we are able to spend a lot of time outdoors in pleasant weather, much of the year
2480	Other than the summer it is a great place to live.My wife and I manage to escape each summer to cooler climes.
2481	Our Mountains
2482	Our Sonora nature, arts and culture
2483	Our Sonoran desert is like no other place on earth. We are blessed to live here and should each embrace a responsibility to steward this land to preserve it
2484	Our area is incredibly beautiful and the weather is perfect for being out in nature. Hiking, biking, running, swimming...
2485	Our beautiful desert
2486	Our cactus forest
2487	Our city is filled with parking lots and too much asphalt and I know that is mostly because of poor planning strategies from the past. Even still new developments, both commercial and residential, seem to take the cheapest and easiest route with too much blade and grade and not enough revegetation. Even the ugliest architecture/development can look beautiful with enough planting of native vegetation.
2488	Our city landscapes should be our pride and joy, maintained by trained professionals. Pruning needs to be supervised by certified arborists and not conducted by prisoners on work-release. Include more native plants and cherish healthy, mature plants with appropriate maintenance.
2489	Our climate is wonderful. I've even become used to the hot summers. And, the desert scenery and wildlife couldn't be better. It is great to be able to spend so much of the year outside.
2490	Our climate promotes getting outdoors and getting involved in all sors of activities.
2491	Our climate.
2492	Our connection to aesthetics raises our spirit and improves our quality of life
2493	Our delightful winter weather means unbearable summers if you are out. more shaded areas - man made (maybe with solar powered fans to cool?) or better yet tree lined walkways
2494	Our downtown is a wonderful area that could be made to reflect the cities history and connection to the Sonoran Desert. More revitalization is needed. Cities like Albuquerque have done a great job with their downtowns, we have yet to do much.
2495	Our environment ... and easy access to trails and mountains ... is what sets us apart from our neighbor to the North. We must protect this beauty to preserve that which makes us special.
2496	Our environment in Tucson is unique. The mountains and the desert never fail to give me joy. The many shades of gray and green after a rain, and smell of the desert when it rains, touch me deeply inside. I grew up in Tucson, in a house off Lester and Pima, and the smell of the desert when it rains, reminds me of that simpler and safer time. The dry air of Tucson, can only be appreciated when you have to go someplace where the bath towels don't dry overnight, or mold grows around the outside of the house. Sometimes our air is so fine, on a spring night with the orange trees in bloom, that it is almost like fine wine.
2497	Our family enjoys being outdoors and exploring the desert
2498	Our future depends on being able to control sprawl, reduce impacts on the environment and reduce/trun back climate change.
2499	Our geographic location is of great value for international trade with Mexico. We have beaches within a few hours drive, pines, skiing, breathtaking desert, hiking, bicycling. Santa Cruz, Cochise Counties offer additional amazing day trips for all who visit.
2500	Our greatest asset / best thing we have going for us
2501	Our groundwater is a very finite resource and the future of CAP water as a dependable resource is not assured--being totally dependent upon Nature, which is being affected by climate change.
2502	Our health is important and our weather makes physical activity possible year around.
2503	Our landscape and nature
2504	Our little acre! The fauna and flora. The ground squirrels, coyotes, hawks, quail, etc. The yellow season: Palo Verdes, Mesquites, Brittle bush, fairy duster, SAGUAROs etc, etc.
2505	Our magnificent natural setting
2506	Our majestic mountains, the flora and fauna of the Sonoran desert, the climate. And don't forget the saguaros.
2507	Our mountains and beautiful skies set the stage for Tucson and in many ways this colors the way we experience our daily lives. The fact that each of us takes our visitors to see our local natural wonders says it all. I would like to see even more accessibility created to build on this as an economic development tool. I am concerned that if development does not have to meet some criteria, the Tucson landscapes could be turned into sprawling L.A. suburbs.
2508	Our mountains are beautiful and it is easy to get out of the city to hike and enjoy nature
2509	Our mountains are great for hiking and other recreation. They also provide an escape from the summer heat.
2510	Our mountains surrounding, both views and access
2511	Our mountains, desert, and people
2512	Our natural environment
2513	Our natural environment is beautiful and is a big draw for travelers and people looking to relocate. We need to place more emphasis on conserving it.
2514	Our natural environment is in need of protection
2515	Our natural environment/mountains
2516	Our presence in the desert (as western Americans) is not particularly sustainable. It seems obvious to me that we need to be careful with our water (pumped and borrowed) and harvest our most plentiful resource (sun).
2517	Our proximity to mountains, open areas, other towns in southern Arizona
2518	Our proximity to some of the most wonderful places on earth makes Tucson a gem in the desert. I have often said that I can take a protractor, draw a seven-hour driving circumference around our city, and have a great weekend in a beautiful place, easy peasy.
2519	Our region is unique in terms of its native plants, and its diversified traditions reflected in arts and culture.
2520	Our size and proximity to the natural world.
2521	Our sky and air is cleaner than polluted Phoenix, making a more beautiful place to live and work.
2522	Our unique Sonoran Desert!!!!
2523	Our varied geography allows us to enjoy the Sonoran desert, as well as the coolness of our surrounding mountains.
2524	Our views are a treat for the eye. Every where you look is something of interest: mountains, sun sets, etc.
2525	Our wealth and beauty as a region are not just the Catalina Mountains, but also the rich ethnic diversity of our people and the strength of our arts scene, which also draws its strength from our people.
2526	Our weather and outdoor beauty.
2527	Our wonderful changing weather
2528	Our wonderful weather conditions make it a perfect sports town.
2529	Out door activities, Senic surrounds (I love watching the mountains throughout the day) and resources like Sabino Canyon, Catalina State Park and, of course, hiking in & around the mountains.
2530	Out of town visitors are often greeted by unpleasant images that reflect violence and lots of gang activity. Many S. Az visitors only see Tucson from the car and what they see is many areas of town is horrific. We must clean it up!
2531	Outdoor activities - hiking, wildlife
2532	Outdoor activities and scenery
2533	Outdoor activities are important and thus easier in good weather
2534	Outdoor activities with kids, golf, exercise
2535	Outdoor activities year-round available
2536	Outdoor beauty and recreation areas
2537	Outdoor environment much of year
2538	Outdoor life is one thing that really drives me. In Tucson we can hike, camp, stargaze and even explore caves.
2539	Outdoor lifestyle and desert landscape.
2540	Outdoor lifestyle; hiking within minutes; love the view.
2541	Outdoor person

2551	Overall climate is great for pursuing most outdoor activities that I enjoy.
2552	Overbuilding into the desert
2553	Overhead power and phone lines
2554	PEOPLE ARE FAMILY LIKE AND VERY MUCH DOWN TO EARTH (no competition between people) ; THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THE ARTS AND MUSIC; IT'S NATURE; OPEN SPACE; EASY DRIVING
2555	Palm trees
2556	Panoramic mountains
2557	Park & rec & schools districts lack of shelter outdoors activities during the summer
2558	Parking (asphalt and concrete) and the urban heat island. Temperature increase is due to parking surface types
2559	Parks and hiking trails with views
2560	Parks departments don't have a choice. They lack funding, it's ridiculous that they must raise money by donation
2561	Part of a wildlife corridor extending from Mexico to the Mogollon Rim
2562	Part of identity (Tucson & Sonoran Desert)
2563	Peaceful
2564	Pecan trees in Sahuarita

2566	People and the mountains
2567	People are aware they live in the desert
2568	People are here because of the environment
2569	People come here for beauty and tourism
2570	People come here to enjoy the environment
2571	People in Tucson are aware of the importance and beuty of natural resourecs and landscape. Our desert is beautiful and as a whole we try to protect and respect it. Our buildings blend with the desert colors and shapes.
2572	People live here because they want to and enjoy the environment. They figure out how to stay here
2573	People need to get out and enjoy the natural surroundings. It is healthy and doesn't take money.
2574	People stay in their cars because otherwise they'll get scorched. The Sun is great only when you can get away from it when you want/need to.
2575	Per the idea about development planning - we need to maintain our sense of alliance with our natural environment. We need to incorporate more solar power and water harvesting, and gray water projects at commercial scale as well as residential scale. These need to become integrated in both new and remodel development.
2576	Perfect temperature
2577	Perfect weather for most of the year.
2578	Perfect winter weather
2579	Perimeter Wild lands Desert (Drawings of mountains)
2580	Personal aesthetics
2581	Personal preference for climate
2582	Phoenix and L.A. have the same climate, but Tucson is still small enough that I don't feel completely lost in a megalopolis.
2583	Phoenix has a better built environment, but Tucson has a better natural environment
2584	Phoenix is Los Angeles in the desert. I'd never want to see that happen to Tucson. Tucson still has it's flavor, don't let that get spoiled but unrestrained growth, ticky tacky pop-up housing developments and red tile roofs.
2585	Phoenix used to be a big, pile of nothing. Now it is an aesthetically interesting and beautiful community. We can do better.
2586	Photogenic
2587	Physical Environment
2588	Physical Geography
2589	Physical and spiritual access to the natural environment
2590	Physical beauty

2593	Physical diversity
2594	Physical environment

2610	Pleasant climate and aesthetically pleasing natural environment.
2611	Pleasant natural surroundings
2612	Please strengthen the protections for our desert, mountains, open spaces, skyline, air, water, land.
2613	Please, let's not turn into LA or Las Vegas; build on healthy, sustainable living. The thing that makes Tucson special for me is the natural beauty, the easy access to open spaces. People are important, but so are the native plants and animals that have called this basin home long before we arrived.
2614	Plenty of hiking trails, as well as beautiful places to walk, cycle and other year round.
2615	Poorly planned & over-development: destroys the natural beauty people come to the area for in the first place; overtaxes the water supply; contributes to congestion; causes a glut in the supply
2616	Poorly planned development/sprawl is eating up the natural areas I care about most in this region and can not be undone.
2617	Positive attitude
2618	Positively impacts quality of life, bodes well for good health
2619	Prefer infill and neighbourhood based projects to large developments that eat up more desert land and are not sustainable with our natural resources (i.e. water)
2620	Preservation and access to the natural desert and mountain areas
2621	Preservation of Nature
2622	Preservation of open space, riparian corridors, and the mountains/desert provide recreational opportunities - particularly birding. And many active recreational choices as well, cycling, hiking etc.
2623	Preservation of the remaining open desert in and around Tucson, incluing Tumamoc, the wildlife corridors, all of the Tucson Mountains, Painted Hills, the ranches along east Speedway out to Douglas Spring, Sabino Canyon area, and all the places that I have no knowledge of.
2624	Preservation of views and of the night sky
2625	Preservation of wildlife and nature
2626	Preserve all natural resources and mountain views
2627	Preserve natural setting
2628	Preserve some desert. The desert is constantly shrinking
2629	Preserve the desert - less gas. better more interesing quality of life. Less bad architecture and greed taking over small neighborhoods (I live by UofA)
2630	Preserve the trail system for horses
2631	Preserves natural environment and quality of life
2632	Preserving the environment -- the only one of it s kind in the world. We have a rare natural and biological beauty that I would hate to see destroyed by over-development, mining (i.e. destroying the Santa Rita mountains and others) and other short-sighted projects.
2633	Pretty moderate temps most of the time. Makes it easy to be outdoors - wish there were more things to do - festivals, concerts etc that had covered seating in the summer though!
2634	Pretty self explanitory
2635	Prevalence of nature trails and hiking paths
2636	Previously lived in a dull climate. The constant sun lifts one's mood.
2637	Prioritize the environment over development
2638	Pristine desert
2639	Promote greater density within the built region and stop destroying the desert. The desert is why we came, why destroy it? Growth controls like Portland
2640	Promote our desert and mountains!!

2679	Quality of life due to good weather most of the year - walk, hiking, outdoor events, parks, professional baseball (now gone) fair, rodeo, Mt. Lemmon, Sabino Canyon, Tombestone, Bisbee, Tubac, The RIVERWALK trails !
2680	Rain in the winter (most years) and summer; lovely spring and fall.
2681	Rainbows and sunsets and lightning displays
2682	Rains more than Phoenix
2683	Rainwater harvesting helps diminish flooding and promotes use of native vegetation on our streets.
2684	Raised to enjoy nature. Grew up in a different place which included fishing nature. Where is the connection for friends to help to go do stuff. Have to have friends and connections
2685	Ready access to the natural environment
2686	Recognize water as a limited resource in the desert
2687	Recreation is coordinated for tourism. Our draw for economic development is the climate and the environment
2688	Recreational Activities/Weather
2689	Reduce automobile traffic, fund road improvements like bike lanes, fund functional public transportation
2690	Reduce sprawl and growth into the desert
2691	Reduce the heat island effect
2692	Reduce urban heat island by planting more trees.
2693	Reduced standard of living - it seems to be the trade-off for the nice climate and environment. It shouldn't be one or the other
2694	Refreshes your soul
2695	Region
2696	Region is very beautiful
2697	Regional beauty of the ares

2709	Rugged, mostly dry desert yet plants and creatures survive.
2710	Rural atmosphere - open space - wildlife corridors
2711	Rural/Urban Atmosphere

2717	Sabino Canyon/Mt Lemmon
2718	Safe,clean area, was gorgeous
2719	Saguaro Cacti
2720	Saguaro Cactus is awesome - cultural icon of the Wild West
2721	Saguaro National Monument, Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon & other hiking trails are my favorite thing about Tucson. The mountains are beautiful and hiking or going up Mt. Lemmon in the summer are a great break.
2722	Saguaro National Park and Desert Museum
2723	Saguaro cactus
2724	Saguaro's
2725	Saguaros and other native plants
2726	Save the desert
2727	Saving the environment.
2728	Savings from doing so (economically, socially, and environmentally) are tremendous
2729	Saw a roadrunner yesterday. A Gila Woodpecker keeps barking at me every time I go out the back door. I can't believe how many plants have been lost to the freeze.
2730	Scenary

2739	Scenic Views
2740	Scenic beauty
2741	Scenic beauty and access to natural environment
2742	Scenic beauty- 365 day/year outdoor recreation
2743	Scenic beauty; mountains, sunsets, flora and fauna, warm winters, dramatic summers, clouds and skyscapes. The fresh air, on good days. Breezes. The dirt. The desert. The heat, blistering heat. The color pallette and light.
2744	Scenic quality
2745	Scenic surroundings
2746	Seasonal depression in overcast
2747	See #'s 1 and 2 above.
2748	See #1 (Natural Environment) we need to plan for keeping a good amount of natural desert/open space. Growth too often occurs where the people with the money want it to without enough regard to the overall picture.
2749	See #1 and #2
2750	Seeing and experiencing nature in an urban setting.
2751	Seeing animals in the wild is awe-inspiring and adds to the quality-of-life of this community
2752	Seeing development overtake the landscape and limit the hiking trails is disconcerting. When I glance at the mountains and see the community development creeping further up the mountain's base, I wonder if there is a limit or is growth's only interest in making money through property taxes and development fees?
2753	Seeing nature from the city
2754	Seeing the stars at night is both beautiful and useful for astronomical research
2755	Seeing weather, fall weather
2756	Seeing wildlife where I live. Great opportunities to hike, enjoy environment
2757	Seems to be unnecessary building of homes. if homes are built, they need to be eco-friendly and energy efficient to protect our limited desert resources.
2758	Selling Tucson's soul to housing developers sucks the vitality out of the city, makes undeveloped desert areas further from midtown, creates a vast service economy instead of good, professional jobs
2759	Sense of ID
2760	Sense of identity/values
2761	Sense of place – feels like home
2762	Sense of pride
2763	Sense of well-being
2764	Sensitivity to the beauty of Tucson without constricting families to expand
2765	Serene views from all over town, beautiful venues for exercise
2766	Sets Tucson region apart
2767	Sets the opportunities for bringing people here
2768	Setting
2769	Setting & Climate.
2770	Shared values- environmental, spiritual, quality of life
2771	Shelters around winter
2772	Shoping close by. Shows, casinos, scenery.
2773	Should be there for all
2774	Showcases Tucson outdoor beauty, lots of things for families to do
2775	Since I live in SW Tucson, I live very close to the wild side of Tucson. It's a lifestyle to experience that everyday
2776	Sky
2777	Slow growth and destruction of desert
2778	Small town feel, ethnic influences and events, natural beauty
2779	Smell of the desert after a rain
2780	Snowbirds come for the weather and contribute a lot of money to the economy
2781	So I don't freeze or overheat
2782	So close to nature
2783	So far much of the natural beauty of the desert has been preserved. I want to keep it this way. I love the Desert Museum and Tohono Chul.
2784	So great to be able to go hiking in a pristine, natural desert within minutes of my central Tucson home.
2785	So i am not limited by the weather to do outdoor activities or work
2786	So many buildings show us the beauty of the past - how Tucson came to be, the rich mix of cultures living in the same place. It's sad to have older buildings knocked down - it feels like it weakens the unique story of what Tucson is
2787	So many people use the park every day. Beautiful roses, birds, dog park, gives the community a place to be together.
2788	So much fun to see
2789	Solar panels can block views vs. HOAs
2790	Some lower-economic populations never get to experience nature
2791	Some people move here from other climates and expect the desert to change. The desert does not care if we waste are resources, there will not be any left for us to live here.
2792	Something you cannot get anywhere else
2793	Sometimes it's raining and I get wet. In the summer if you have to wait for the bus any more than 10 minutes, you get overheated and the seat burns your butt.
2794	Sonora Desert
2795	Sonoran Desert
2796	Sonoran Desert (and I don't mean the weeds in peoples' yards!) and the 'Hacienda' style of some parts of the city
2797	Sonoran Desert (beautiful natural surroundings) and wildlife

2812	Sonoran desert environment
2813	Sonoran desert is truly unique; many chances to participate in outside activities; kids grow up with an appreciation of nature
2814	Sonoran desert lifestyle
2815	Sonoran desert, mountains, the ability to access it with relative ease.
2816	Sonoran desert/Sky Islands: captures peoples' imagination and spirit. Appreciated by a large number of people=preservation. Not like Phoenix, which is just a cheap place to buy a home.
2817	Sonoran flora, fauna and the unspoiled desert
2818	Southern AZ, with its terrific year round climate should attract business, but does not because there are so many barriers to business here. that must change.
2819	Southwest beauty
2820	Southwestern scenic features
2821	Specificly in winter
2822	Spectacular natural surroundings & weather
2823	Speedway is such an ugly road framed by the beautiful mountain views
2824	Speedway used to be billed as the ugliest street in Tucson. We have a great many 'ugly'street; but Congress is tops. Someone needs to take a hard look at our building codes... before Grant is widened. Difficult to point to one's community with pride in the shadow of ugliness.
2825	Spend more time outdoors than other regions
2826	Spending time on the east coast made me realize how important sunny days are to me. Tucson provides plenty of sunny days!
2827	Spending time outside and in natural setting recharges me.
2828	Spiritual aspect to outdoors
2829	Spiritual connection
2830	Spiritual experience- you can "see forever"
2831	Spiritual fulfillment
2832	Sprawl is gross but for those segments of our community that feel we need more sprawl, I would ask they strive to construct the highest quality structures possible. Could incentives be offered for new construction on abandoned/vacant areas rather than razing new tracts of desert?
2833	Sprawl ruining the environment
2834	Sprawling cities are too car-dependent. People are too spread out (and stuck in their cars) to interact and care about each other. Sprawling development destroys our deserts and wildlife.
2835	Sprawling development is visually boring
2836	Spring
2837	Spring and Fall offer gorgeous weather for golf! Winters aren't too cold, but summers are definitely hot.
2838	Spring time weather
2839	Spring, Fall, Winter weather
2840	Stars
2841	Started coming here on vacation and it led us to stay here
2842	Starting at a neighborhood level, it is a symbol of our desire to maintain safe/secure/attractive neighborhoods
2843	State Trust lands are a big part of the landscape that is important to me, and revenue supports the schools.
2844	Steel and concrete are deadening - we can still connect with mother nature here
2845	Still good but I'm beginning to wonder?!
2846	Still have lots of greenery, we have to value it now
2847	Stop chewing up the desert to build houses - rebuild old neighborhoods make them more desirable
2848	Stop people from moving further up the mountains
2849	Stop the development and distruction of the desert
2850	Stop the sprawl and save what is left of our Sonoran Desert before it is too late
2851	Stormwater Infrastructure
2852	Streets get flooded all the time when it rains.
2853	Streets get flooded with a heavy rain
2854	Stronger zoning or something to prevent more homes being built up on the mountain slopes.
2855	Stronomy, and I try lament how much light noise is infringing on this amazing resource.
2856	Stunning mountains, close proximity of different landscapes) accessibility to mtns
2857	Styro condos are killing the landscape. These houses aren't even 'green' by definition! I can't even go out and enjoy the beautiful natural habitat I once knew, because it is gone.
2858	Such an asset
2859	Such different vegetation from east coast, dry weather
2860	Summer and winter weather
2861	Summer is too hot
2862	Summers ARE hot (in the middle of the day), but I am able to be outdoors, walking, playing tennis, golf, walking my dogs every day of the year. Try that in Boston!
2863	Summers are nice and we don't get the winters like other states.
2864	Summers are too long (I know, wishful thinking)
2865	Sun
2866	Sun and blue sky

2888	Sunrises, Sunsets, People
2889	Sunset on the mountains
2890	Sunsets
2891	Sunsets and sceinery
2892	Sunsets and the fall weather
2893	Sunsets and weather
2894	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.
2895	Sunsets, mountains
2896	Sunshine
2897	Sunshine - good for health
2898	Sunshine 300 plus days a year. Nothing wrong with that.
2899	Sunshine and heat
2900	Sunshine and warm weather are a huge draw here- we need to capitalize on this.
2901	Sunshine and warmth
2902	Sunshine and wild spaces
2903	Sunshine enables me to lead an outdoor life.
2904	Sunshine in the morning, warm and dry. It is a beautiful place to be. Endless possibilities to enjoy the outdoors
2905	Sunshine is energizing for me
2906	Sunshine is important to positive mood levels. Heritage is something everyone in the community can learn from and take pride in.
2907	Sunshine keep me going. Moderate temperatures most of the year allow for more physical activity. Improves my health.
2908	Sunshine keeps me happy
2909	Sunshine makes life easier
2910	Sunshine makes me happy

2922	Suntran makes it easier to get where you need to, and helps the environment by reducing smog and other pollutants
2923	Support the velodrome, more skateboard parks, BMX parks, Climbing facilities etc. It will make the city more attractive to the 20 somethings for living and visiting. I'm sick of hearing about how awesome Portland is. The weather there is crappy yet they rule, becase they support the alternative culture of the community. I can't get my 20 and 30 somethings to visit Tucson, because Portalnd is way more attractive.
2924	Supports other life forms
2925	Surounding mountains
2926	Surreal atmosphere: air, weather, people
2927	Surrounded by Mountains
2928	Surrounded by mountains

2946	THE OLDER I GET THE COLDER I GET. THEREFORE I ENJOY THE HEAT AND HOPE WE NEVER HAVE AS COLD A WINTER AS MANY DAYS HAVE BEEN THIS PAST FEW WEEKS.
2947	THE WEATHER
2948	Take 10 degrees off the summer and ad it to the winter
2949	Take a walk, go on the trails… just the beauty of the place
2950	Take advantage of local resources – Colossal Cave, Cienga, etc.
2951	Take advantage of the scenery
2952	Takes away our beautiful desert, too many people are moving here
2953	Te weather
2954	Teach people that this is a desert.
2955	Teh desert, the parks and national monuments and parks. The relative ease in which one can travel through town. The fact that I spend so much time of the year outside.
2956	Temp (weather)
2957	Temperate area, to enjoy outdoor activities year round.
2958	Temperate to warm climates are more attractive as my wife and I grow older. We no longer look upon shoveling the driveway of snow as a manageable task.
2959	Temperature
2960	Temperatures
2961	Temperatures 8-9 months of the year
2962	Temps
2963	That I can actually see them without the landscape being impeded by smog
2964	That a national park it close to a major metropolitain city. It protects the state's namesake cactus
2965	That natural vegetation is maintained around suburban development
2966	That the developers have been slowed down from building in the foothills and in the environmental pathways of our own endangered animals.
2967	That the weather is nice here most of the year except for the summer.
2968	That we have valued the beautiful natural setting. It is worth protecting, as is the environment in general. A few jobs for a few years are not worth destroying what God gave us. Beside, if we can't 'breath' we can't work - so no job would be worth the destruction of the environment.
2969	That you can see them from anywhere
2970	That's why we're here
2971	The 'little' patches of landscape you can see
2972	The 'look'
2973	The Arizona/Sonoran Desert
2974	The Blazing Sun (picture of the sun drawn)
2975	The Catalina Mountains
2976	The Catalina Mountains are beautiful. When we moved from Phoenix and saw how close we could live to the mountains with the gorgeous views, I thought Tucson was the best kept secret.
2977	The Catalinas are a beautiful mountain range that acts as a backdrop to Tucson. Walking in Sabino Canyon is always a great pleasure.
2978	The Catalinas are amazing
2979	The Climate
2980	The Desert Life
2981	The Desert Museum, Mt Lemmon, Saguaro National Park
2982	The Desert and Climate
2983	The Desert!
2984	The Ecology
2985	The Environment...beautiful Sonoran Desert, with tall pine covered mountains surrounding the valley.
2986	The Great Outdoors
2987	The Greater Tucson area is extremely scenic from Sonoran desert to mountains to big sky. We have some of the best sunsets in the world. You don't have to live way out in the country to see a variety of wildlife day and night, and dark skies offer terrific star gazing.
2988	The Heat
2989	The Lanscape
2990	The Majestic Views
2991	The Mexican and Spanish design fit in with the natural landscape and even complement the beauty that surrounds us.
2992	The Mountains
2993	The Mountains are very calming and provide recreational opportunities.
2994	The Nature and Climate
2995	The Old Barrio's, with parks, native plants
2996	The Pusch Ridge Mountain range
2997	The Sahuaro national monuments are beautiful peaceful to visit.
2998	The Santa Rita Mountains are special to the world because of the wildlife, birds and insects that rely on the area. The mine will be a catastophy beyond measure. It will ruin the buety of the area and deplete Tucson of its water supply. Once that is gone we all might as well leave.
2999	The Sonoran Desert
3000	The Sonoran Desert - being able to see the horizon
3001	The Sonoran Desert and Desert Climate
3002	The Sonoran Desert and changing landscapes going from valley floor to top of Mt Lemmon gives Tucson area the most comple
3003	The Sonoran Desert and mountains. Our open spaces and climate
3004	The Sonoran Desert and the Native people and cultures of the Sonoran Desert
3005	The Sonoran Desert and the surrounding mountains are unique with unique wildlife.
3006	The Sonoran Desert environment
3007	The Sonoran Desert environment and culture
3008	The Sonoran Desert is an irreplaceable resource providing both wildlife habitat to numerous rare species as well as recreation to people in the region. Protecting the fragile balance between habitat and human occupation should take primacy in any discussion of future development. Without a healthy and diverse environment, healthy human civilization cannot exist.
3009	The Sonoran Desert is such a special place. Being able to hike through Saguaro National Park or Catalina State Park is priceless. One afternoon hike at the latter--I encountered TWO Gila Monsters in an hour of walking.
3010	The Sonoran Desert is unique and irreplaceable. The unrestrained destruction of the desert for buildings and roads causes damage that can't be undone
3011	The Sonoran Desert is unique in the world and very beautiful.
3012	The Sonoran Desert is unlike any other place in the United States and features many unique plants and animals, as well as interesting geological formations.
3013	The Sonoran Desert is very important to me. I was not born in the desert; I have chosen to live in it. I want to preserve as much of the natural setting of Tucson as is practical.
3014	The Sonoran Desert landscape
3015	The Sonoran Desert provides a diverse geography from deserts to mountains.
3016	The Sonoran desert
3017	The Sonoran desert and climate
3018	The Sonoran desert environment
3019	The Sonoran desert has amazing plants and animals and is far more rich and diverse than I thought the desert would be. We can see native species even with such a large urban population.
3020	The Sonoran desert is a beautiful place that is unique to this part of the country. The concept of living in harmony with our environment is an an important one and the only way for us to reach long-term sustainability.
3021	The Sonoran desert, climate
3022	The Sonoran desert: it's flora and fauna and the dry desert air.
3023	The Tucson climate is one of the main reasons I remain in this area, I don't like living or working in the snow.
3024	The Tucson community is surounded by natrual beauty - the mountains, the arroyos, the saguaros and other features. Open space, access to nature, opportunities to enjoy nature - are one of the areas greatest features and needs to be preserved, with access and opportunities expanded. (Closing state parks is not a positive step)
3025	The Tucson community is very aware of the environment and very cautious to do damage to it. I love the Catalinas and the care that has been taken to allow us to hike, camp, explore, etc.
3026	The U of A is a great asset. It has provided so much for us: work, learning, and biking through its mall on weekends. Its parks are beautiful, and also its museums, and Music Hall. A great environment for us.
3027	The UA provides so many varied events and activities. I can walk the campus and enjoy it's beauty (the arboretum is amazing!). I can attend a high quality, nationally renowned performance (i.e. Wicked!). I can visit the State Museum. I can see student productions. So much is there!!
3028	The University of Arizona is our crown jewel fueling knowledge based discoveries and high tech job growth, sporting events, fine arts and so much more. We have arts, culture (from southwestern/hispanic/tribal to symphony/Arizona Theatre/UA presents/museums), restaurants, sports (outdoor and spectator), mountains and deserts, plants and wildlife, gem shows and rodeo.
3029	The Views (Mountains, Sonoran Desert and the proximity to my other favorite places in the West...CA, CO, NM, UT, etc)
3030	The Weather
3031	The Weather (I don leave in June and July now, not in 1989-2009)
3032	The Weather!
3033	The Weather.
3034	The ability to access these areas within a short duration to maximize weekend and vacation visits.
3035	The ability to be in the midst of one of the treasures of the world
3036	The ability to be outdoors comfortably year round -I love the Sonoran habitats & Sabino Canyon.
3037	The ability to be outdoors so many months a year
3038	The ability to be outside most of the year - weather!
3039	The ability to do outdoor activities all year long.
3040	The ability to drive 30 min in any direction from my home and be in the restorative beauty and solitude of nature - whether the desert, or in the Catalinas or Santa Ritas.
3041	The ability to escape heat in summer months, and the vista provided year around.
3042	The ability to experience different climates, scenery, foliage and the opportunities that exist with outdoor recreation such as hiking, climbing, camping, etc.
3043	The ability to get out into nature easily, to see the mountains from my yard, and to enjoy the desert coridors that reach into our urban areas. I need to breath the clean air and hear the sounds of nature and feel my connection to nature. It provides a healthy touchstone.
3044	The ability to get outdoors and enjoy the unspoiled/undeveloped natural areas that surround Tucson.
3045	The ability to go from the city to the mountains for hiking and recreation.
3046	The ability to play golf/bike in the winter
3047	The ability to see beauty all around on a daily basis reminds me how blessed I am to live here.
3048	The ability to see cactus, yet drive 4 hrs and see snow
3049	The ability to take two hours 'vacations'
3050	The abundance of wildlife and plant life in the desert.
3051	The abundant biodiversity
3052	The abundant plant and animal life in our natural Sonoran environment is an inspiration. It is life's perfection expressed every day in the way these elements continue to exist well in one of the harshest environments in the world. It would be nice to force some density requirements so that we do not eradicate, by default what sets this area apart.
3053	The access to nature.
3054	The accessibility of nature.
3055	The accessibility to our natural resources the mountains and arid desert is a demonstration of our communities commitment to preserving our gift of the land.
3056	The air is healthy to breathe most of the time and the weather allows one to be outside a lot and be active.
3057	The air quality, the dessert, and the surrounding environment make this a great place to live.
3058	The amount of broken glass along streets and in desert trails is heart breaking. Seems to me as though there are alot of people that would take advantage of bottle refunds, thus decreasing the amount of bottles thrown in the desert.
3059	The animals
3060	The animals are awesome and the employees really go out of their way to make sure you have a memorable time.
3061	The appearance of the city makes me think we don't care about this wonderful place. Tucson needs more pride in itself.
3062	The area is beautiful and creates a sence of peace and fun recreational activities to do...
3063	The arts are critical to the success of downtown and we need a regional hub - a beautiful complex that can accommodate theater, symphony, dance, concerts and opera. Like a smaller version of Lincoln Center. There's nothing like this in Arizona. Wouldn't it be great if Tucson took the lead?
3064	The atmosphere (climate) beniefits the health of my children
3065	The availability to be out of doors literally year-round to hike, bike, horse-back ride in a beautiful environment.
3066	The awareness of the environment.
3067	The banksters and developers immediately take over the foothills, build where our wild animals roam and cross, sell the real estate for money, leave the original neighborhoods in poverty and distress then leave!!!
3068	The beautiful blend of Native American, Mexican and European peoples and cultures.
3069	The beautiful desert
3070	The beautiful desert and irrepalceable ecosystem
3071	The beautiful desert surrounded by mountains
3072	The beautiful environment and access to nature
3073	The beautiful landscape, with desert, foothills, and mountains
3074	The beautiful landscape/mountains
3075	The beautiful lush desert, abundant wildlife and ever changing mountains
3076	The beautiful mountains
3077	The beautiful mountains AND sunsets.
3078	The beautiful mountains and desert that surround Tucson sustain me spiritually and physically. They're what keep me sane in a challenging world
3079	The beautiful mountains and desert.
3080	The beautiful mountains surrounding the region.
3081	The beautiful mountains, flora and fauna
3082	The beautiful natural landscape

3088	The beautiful sunsets and rainbows
3089	The beautiful surroundings
3090	The beautiful topography
3091	The beautiful views
3092	The beautiful views of the mountains, open spaces with stands of saguaros, and desert hiking and trails
3093	The beautiful weather
3094	The beautiful weather allows almost constant outside activity. It's perfect for sports, fitness, leisure, gardening, etc. The abundant sunshine keeps me happy and the ability to be outside keeps me healthy.
3095	The beautiful weather makes it a very pleasant place to live - easy to travel, walk, ride a bike, enjoy the outdoors. It fosters a healthy lifestyle and I think people should be more relaxed than those living in areas where the four seasons bring snow, rain and dark days that impact people's moods and travel to/from work, wherever.
3096	The beautiful, delicate Sonoran desert.
3097	The beauty
3098	The beauty and accessibility of the desert
3099	The beauty and chances to get outside in Tucson are unique for a desert city in Arizona.
3100	The beauty and inspiration
3101	The beauty and ruggedness of our mountains against the background of the high desert. Also, having the opportunity to hike and walk the areas.
3102	The beauty and strength of the desert is what drew me to Tucson - seeing it bladed and disrespected is a disincentive to wanting to live here.
3103	The beauty and temperatures of the fall and spring with the added benefit of not having to deal with snow is ideal.
3104	The beauty and wildlife setting for where I live
3105	The beauty here is sometimes overwhelming: there is so very much to do outside: hike, climb, picnic, just sit and enjoy. If this natural beauty were to be significantly destroyed or ruined, Tucson would never recover.
3106	The beauty is awesome.
3107	The beauty is profound.
3108	The beauty of Tucson and the surrounding area
3109	The beauty of Tucson is its mountains and its green desert
3110	The beauty of Tucson's mountains and desert provides a constant boost to me.
3111	The beauty of creation/nature
3112	The beauty of landscape
3113	The beauty of our desert
3114	The beauty of the Sonoran Desert is unsurpassed. I hold it to be sacred. Protecting the desert is of the utmost importance
3115	The beauty of the Sonoran desert
3116	The beauty of the Tucson area
3117	The beauty of the area
3118	The beauty of the area and city
3119	The beauty of the area.
3120	The beauty of the desert
3121	The beauty of the desert aand the wildlife.
3122	The beauty of the desert and mountains
3123	The beauty of the desert and mountains is accessible to all.
3124	The beauty of the desert and surrounding areas
3125	The beauty of the environment.
3126	The beauty of the land + nature + weather
3127	The beauty of the mountains
3128	The beauty of the mountains and desert
3129	The beauty of the mountains and housing affordability.
3130	The beauty of the mountains and the desert.
3131	The beauty of the mountains and the wide open sky.
3132	The beauty of the mountains is in stark contrast to the desert look that seems to be the only thing Tucson allows.
3133	The beauty of the mountains, sun rises and sunsets, and the outdoors opportunities given the diverse geography
3134	The beauty of the natural environment, and the urban interface
3135	The beauty of the region
3136	The beauty of the region and the diversity of the community
3137	The beauty of this area the cactuses! Everything
3138	The beauty that srrounds us.
3139	The beauty that surrounds the area - this must be preserved. There's nothing like getting up and seeing a gorgeous sunrise/sunset in the mountains; or walk to a park where there are native plants/vegetation/flowers. We must maintain areas like this ALL over Tucson and preserve our land!
3140	The big sky, desert to mountain access, hiking and camping, weather.
3141	The blend of Mother Nature and the city
3142	The blue sky.
3143	The breeze
3144	The business climate
3145	The cactus, saguaro, mountain range, the distinctive animals passing through my neighborhoods, no need to cut grass and shovel snow in Tucson.
3146	The calm atmosphere really tends to make Tucson seem like a relaxing place to live, almost like taking a vacation, especially when a lot of my time is spent in Phoenix and other metro areas. There are positives and negatives about having a relaxing way of life since in phoenix you can get and do about anything you want. Although I like the dark sky at night here in Tucson and I think we should grow with keeping ordinances that protect the dark sky in areas and allow other areas for recreation and night time activities as well. I don't want people to think that I don't want growth and that I want to live in the middle of the desert. I like growth and I am glad Tucson grew, because now my family and others can enjoy what Tucson has to offer. Why should we limit growth? We shouldn't be selfish by not allowing anyone else to enjoy this area? I just want a balance between growth and ordinances that produce inexpensive and smart growth.
3147	The care taken to preserve our desert environment
3148	The city does a great job with landscaping new roads with limited access and beautiful man-made cliffs. Commuting isn't difficult and always beautiful.
3149	The city does not at this time appear to value the preservation of its historic neighborhoods, and is instead allowing medium-large scale commercial residential properties to be built wherever developers wish. It seems we all forget sometimes: a) what would we not wish to be built right next door to our home, and b) what attracts long term residents is stability and beauty, not uncertainty and chaotic residential and commercial development. Wake up Tucson, and care for the heart of your community. There's room for us all, and in appropriate areas.
3150	The city is interwoven quite a bit with the Sonoran desert environment. There's not so much feeling of being encased in concrete. People are outdoors, walking around.
3151	The city looks like a mexico town, dirty, graffitti, weeds, run down, just generally tatered, used and worn
3152	The clean sunny mountains and the natural environment
3153	The clear air and open skies where one can see the stars at night are important after living in a big city.
3154	The climactic and scenic diversity and beauty available here and nearby.
3155	The climate
3156	The climate (for now; it is getting hotter).
3157	The climate (monsoons)
3158	The climate (winter weather)
3159	The climate - Hiking opportunities
3160	The climate allows us to enjoy so many outdoor activities, it allows us all to live a healthier, more active life
3161	The climate and Heritage
3162	The climate and all that it enables
3163	The climate and environment
3164	The climate and landscape are beautiful and inspire my life
3165	The climate and the mountains
3166	The climate and the people, I would like to be more involved with the community
3167	The climate and unique topography
3168	The climate and weather
3169	The climate and weather.
3170	The climate attracts people to Tucson
3171	The climate creates business opportunities
3172	The climate here is just about perfect for at least 8 months of the year!
3173	The climate in Tucson enables us to be active year round, particulary September-May.
3174	The climate is easy to work with.
3175	The climate is fairly welcoming and livable with the exception of summer heat
3176	The climate is great 8 months of the year, and tolerable the other four.
3177	The climate is great.
3178	The climate is mild enough for growing a garden year around.
3179	The climate is mild enough for outdoor activities and raising livestock all year round.
3180	The climate of Tucson and the surrounding area is condusive to outdoor activity.
3181	The climate, beautiful mountains and desert terrain.
3182	The climate, especially when it is warm
3183	The climate.
3184	The close access to our beautiful, natural desert environment.
3185	The closeness of our mountain ranges keeps the natural environment in mind, an environment on which we are all ultimately totally dependent.
3186	The cold and I are lifelong enemies
3187	The combination of mountains and desert are important to me - I need to see the horizon
3188	The combination of the natural setting and the climate... the natural desert mountains and wildlife and great weather to enjoy them with
3189	The comfortable temperatures in winter. Even the hot su mmers are tolerable as I can slow down, not rush around.
3190	The commitment to keep Tucson environmentally clean is important to the current residents. Future residents will be attracted to that condition. The UA and associated research and clean industry will attract environmentally aware residents helping to keep Tucson clean.
3191	The community comes alive during the winter. It's nice to go out and see my neighbors.
3192	The community embraces the beauty of our region.
3193	The community is spread out and it is suburbia with no interesting core. Downtown has been a disappointment for the 26 years I have lived here. I overlooked lack of urban places of interest and things to do because the natural environmment is large and offers many treasures. The built environment has no cozyiness that I experienced living in Seattle and Ann Arbor. There are very few neighborhood nodes that one can walk to that are not a part of a shopping center or strip mall. In general, there is no urban character or charm. When I first went to downtown Tucson, I said you don't have to stay here but then I fell in love with the Tucson Mountains and Sonoran Desert.
3194	The constant sunshine improves my mood and happiness.
3195	The continual visual access to the beautiful mountains, the easy physical access to beautiful natural sites. The year around possibility for out door activity and bicycle commuting. The year around possibility for out door activity and bicycle commuting
3196	The contrast the mountains provide against the desert, and the hiking trails, and the temperature and vegatation changes you can experience.
3197	The convenience of the city, but still able to see wildlife
3198	The cost of education on a college level has risen to the point where getting any degree other than a business or engineering degree is illogical because there is no way anyone earning a living could pay the loans required. Having an educated population is necessary because the more educated the population the higher the level of econ development and the higher the level of econ development the more aesthetic the environment and the mroe exciting the city. This is improtant because I like pretty cities and think people should live in environments as impressive or more impressive than the surroundings.
3199	The countryside around the city is beautiful. A half-hour hike takes you to a completely different world.
3200	The cultural diversity helps me learn, my concept of the desert has changed
3201	The cultural opportunities, music, art, architecture, natural beauty and climate, the University of Arizona
3202	The current rates do not come near covering the actual cost of getting potable water to us, and new development is being permitted water privilege which endangers agriculture, residences, and natural environments all over the state.
3203	The desert
3204	The desert , canyons and mountains!
3205	The desert - Native peoples
3206	The desert - hiking trails, mountains, Gates Pass for a pretty drive
3207	The desert also contributes to economic vitality
3208	The desert an mountains
3209	The desert and mountain areas. Beautiful hiking places around here
3210	The desert and mountains
3211	The desert and mountains are so beautiful, and the climate is pleasant, even in summer.
3212	The desert and surrounding mountains have a beauty that is specific to this area.
3213	The desert and the mountains
3214	The desert and the open skies
3215	The desert and the wonderful weather mean that I can be outside a lot. Hiking here is great. I love the Catalinas, Sabino Canyon and the Tucson Mountains and all of the wildlife: coyotes, birds, javelinas.
3216	The desert beauty
3217	The desert climate and mountan views

3222	The desert has its own beauty
3223	The desert has its own stark beauty which gives one repose from the rather unattractive nature of our city.
3224	The desert is a place of beauty.
3225	The desert is a source of great beauty and solace to me. The dry air and beautiful scenery
3226	The desert is a treasure for us all
3227	The desert is beautiful and it teaches us about the power of nature and economy of resources.
3228	The desert is beautiful and precious. We appreciate scarcity of water, living with heat and making it all work. Our ecosysyem is wquite unique and mystical.
3229	The desert is beautiful and you can always count on it being there.
3230	The desert is exceptional
3231	The desert is just beautiful and you are in driving distance of Mt. Lemmon.
3232	The desert is the habitat that has been the dwelling of my ancestors for thousands of years. It still preserves its beauty and biota that amazes me each time I set my view onto the Rincones and
3233	The desert is very present.
3234	The desert landscape
3235	The desert landscape/environment.
3236	The desert life

3240	The desert with the diverse habitat surounded by mountians.
3241	The desert, mountains and temperature are amazing. This drew me here.
3242	The desert, the mountains, nature.
3243	The desert, vegetation, and wildlife
3244	The desert.
3245	The desert/climate
3246	The desert/mountain enviroment
3247	The deteriorating environment--i.e., the pending water shortage, the sometimes poor air quality
3248	The diverse surrounding environment. Mt. Lemmon, Tucson Mountain Park, Saguaro National Park, Madera Canyon, Sabino Canyon....
3249	The diversity and beauty
3250	The diversity and survival adaptation of plants and animals.
3251	The diversity of everything--cultures, opinions, regional climates, heritages, races, regional topography
3252	The downtown area is so beautiful, but I would love to see it revitalized even moreso. I know that it has grown considerable in the last ten years, but I believe that it could be even better.
3253	The dry warmth and mild winter
3254	The easy access of desert and mountain trails
3255	The easy access to undeveloped desert and mountains for outdoor recreation
3256	The ecology
3257	The ecology/landscape
3258	The educational opportunities and the cultural and intellectual richness that the UA brings to Tucson; UA sports; the tradition and beauty of the campus and the activity center (esp Main Gate) around it.
3259	The electric storms
3260	The entire environment needs to be considered and sustained so we will continue to have sunshine, desert environment, and not smog, congestion, etc. overcrowded
3261	The environment
3262	The environment - desert, mountains, big sky is endlessly engaging
3263	The environment - mountains, desert
3264	The environment - mountains, desert, canyons, etc.
3265	The environment and climate
3266	The environment contributes to tourism
3267	The environment is linked to childhood obesity. Kids can get out more, so can be more healthy. It's also tied to education, health, and tourism
3268	The environment is one of my top priorities. Tucson does pretty well, but lots of room for improvement
3269	The environment of Tucson is attractive.
3270	The environment of weather/location
3271	The environment, air, mountains, and sunsets
3272	The environment, the desert beauty
3273	The environment-mts., desert, plants
3274	The environment.
3275	The environmental extremism
3276	The envrionment, our sunsets, and scenic views
3277	The even basic temperature year round.
3278	The extensive signage that pops up with each election is beyond an eyesore. It's bad enough that the airwaves are inundated with this, but allowing these signs to pollute our environment is worse. If we can't eliminate them completely, placement areas should at least be severely limited.
3279	The extremes are manageable to me, and they make year -round living here enjoyable.
3280	The fabulous natural environment
3281	The fact that we live in a community where most feel it is important to not only plan for development in the future, but doing it in a way that protects the beauty of this area. One of the important reasons I like living here are the natural open areas that are so close to where we live and accessable.
3282	The fall and winter months are especially nice because of the mild temperatures.
3283	The far east side has beautiful neighborhoods, low crime rates and a great community mentality. People look after each other in this community.
3284	The flatness of the desert lends itself to easier accessibility to homes and businesses yet I can see the mountains and drive to them.
3285	The four mountain ranges arount Tucson make it an incredibly beautiful place to live. Leaving the city crowding for the peaceful quiet of the surrounding area is a fabulous asset and must be preserved.
3286	The general population is more open minded and has more concern about the environment we live in
3287	The geographical location.
3288	The geographical setting and climate
3289	The geographical setting.
3290	The geography - our wonderful Sonoran Desert
3291	The gorgeous canyons, mountains and desert
3292	The graffiti, the junk/trash along roads/freeways, the weeds (not beautiful Sonoran vegitation but WEEDS) all over the place are in such stark contract to the ugly stuff. It does not fit.
3293	The great number of community events and great weather to enjoy them.
3294	The great outdoors

3304	The horses running down the alley
3305	The incredible weather and that we are surrounded by mountain ranges
3306	The influence of both the Sonoran desert and Mexico on our region is another reason that Tucson is such a diverse place.
3307	The intrinsic value of the desert's wildlife and ecology. The beauty of untouched or at least less manipulated land. The separation from other large cities and spans of land between. The way the city has many people who continue to care for the environment. The way the city dwellers here try to make the town sustainable. A value of water for the environment. A connection of people to the values the environment gives us. The strong conservation ethic is what makes the city livable for me.
3308	The irreversible loss of unreplaceable plants, animals, and scenic qualities destroys the most important attributes of Tucson
3309	The is important because we need to improve and maintain wildlife
3310	The lack of light pollution
3311	The landscape
3312	The landscape and respect for nature

3315	The location
3316	The location in the Sonoran Desert
3317	The long temperate season makes number 1 more accessible than most anywhere outside California. I hate the cold and I can take the heat.
3318	The longer one lives here the more it feels like a small town, especially if you live in the midtown area. People walk in their neighborhoods, especially mine. I like the fact that there are very few tall buildings. The mountains are always visible. The city feels accessible and friendly.
3319	The low density/intensity development patterns threaten the summer climate of area and also the natural environment.
3320	The make me feel secure and are beautiful.
3321	The make our city look beautiful
3322	The metropolitan area has close access to natural areas that can be enjoyed in many ways.
3323	The mild climate year round. The escapes we have. Mt. Lemon, San Diego, TX New Mexico, Rocky Pointe, or Colorado. Tucson is the gateway to other places if you choose to travel.
3324	The mild winter weather also allows me to participate nearly year round in outdoor activities. Summers are kind of hot, but thank goodness for swimming pools!
3325	The mild winter weather and abundant sunshine.
3326	The minimal amount of cold weather
3327	The mix of cultures enhances a region's tolerance for differing ethnicities and histories and educates the populace. In an hour one can be in a canadian forest zone or in high chapparal and grass land.
3328	The monsoon and the rain showers and cold and swimming in the summer time
3329	The monsoon and the winters.
3330	The most beautiful desert in the world

3340	The mountains and natural environment
3341	The mountains and nature are very important to me. The easy accessibility to hiking trails like Finger rock, sabino Canyon, the Rillito River walking/bike path. It's a real stress -reliever to have these places nearby. They are also places to see people, run into old friends, since we don't really have a city center, a zocalo where people congregate, these areas take the place of a city center. Actually, sabino Canyon on a weekend is like an old fashioned Zocalo. You can see everyone you know and it makes Tucson feel like a small town.
3342	The mountains and public land; outdoor recreation
3343	The mountains and resulting sunrises/sunsets are realyl beautiful, and I had never done much hiking prior to moving here, but really enjoy it.
3344	The mountains and rustic dessert are amazing!
3345	The mountains and sunsets on the Catalinas are gorgeous.

3354	The mountains are dramatic and simply beautiful! It is a joy to look at them everyday.
3355	The mountains are extraordinarily beautiful, they look different every day and they remind me that I'm am but a speck of dust in the continuum. (Good for a healthy ego to be reminded regularly that he 'ain't much' in the grand scheme.
3356	The mountains are fabulous
3357	The mountains are something that I don't see when I am at home. They enhance the Tucson atmosphere and are very peaceful

3359	The mountains are very scenic and allow for lots of outdoor activities - climbing, biking, hiking, camping, etc.
3360	The mountains around Tucson afford numerous recreational oppertunities- hiking, camping, mtn biking, 4 wheeling....beautiful sunsets behind mountains.
3361	The mountains around the city
3362	The mountains for hiking, plenty of golf, tennis, swimming etc. Patio dining areas and outdoor grills.
3363	The mountains in the region are close enough to visit and use recreationally - but they are also amazing to see from the valley and provide a sense of place and physical direction. This is one of the few places in the world where I can tell where I am based on the mountains.
3364	The mountains make me feel better about myself
3365	The mountains of Tucson
3366	The mountains provide breathtaking views wherever you live. They provide opportunities for hikes, walks, horseback rides, camping, biking and more.
3367	The mountains that ring Tucson make for a spectacular setting as well as the open space for hiking, etc.

3370	The mountains that surround the city

3373	The mountains, the blue sky, the hiking trails all combine to make this desert oasis truly unique.
3374	The mountains, the desert, the smell of the desert after rain, the terror of a monsoon thunderstorm, the buzzsaw roar of cicadas in the summertime... all these things are just indescribably beautiful.
3375	The mountains, the sunshine, the (relatively) clear air & low humidity, the desert
3376	The mountains, vegetation - only place in the world that has the most beautiful forest of saguaros. When i take a trip out of the area, heading home, i actually anticipate the beauty of seeing the Saguaros on the mountain side greeting me home.

3422	The nature that surrounds Tucson is precious and MUST be preserved.
3423	The nearby mountain ranges and other natural areas.
3424	The necessity of owning cars has led to the necessity of spending on roads; the subsequent impact on our economic, physical well being and well-being of the environment calls for better solutions. We are doomed otherwise.
3425	The nice weather allows me to do with my time outdoors.
3426	The nice weather attracts snowbirds, who contribute to the local economy
3427	The nice weather makes people more up beat and incline to enjoy life and the beautiful outdoors.

3443	The outdoors: big sky, mountains, all that.
3444	The outside activities
3445	The overall year round weather
3446	The palm trees add a nice touch to the enviornment.
3447	The peacefulness of the mountains
3448	The people of Tucson and Pima County support conservation and well-thought development. I want to live where the things I enjoy will continue being beautiful and theintelligent form of conservation in Tucson allows this.
3449	The people surrounding A mountain
3450	The people, culture, desert, live and let live!
3451	The perimeter desert
3452	The perimeter of Tucson should be kept natural and infill within the existing limits would allow growth without further destruction of the landscape.
3453	The physical aspects (i.e. geography & climate).
3454	The physical beauty
3455	The physical environment
3456	The physical environment -- the mountains, the desert, the natural beauty of the area.
3457	The physical environment, and the climate.
3458	The physical setting is inspiringly beautiful.
3459	The physical setting of Tucson is so beautiful
3460	The physical surroundings
3461	The picturesque mountains/weather
3462	The population of Tucson is made up of many different transient groups- individuals who only live here in the winter season, students, military, immigrants. As a resident who doesn't make up any of these groups, I find it hard to find people who are dedicated to living here in the long run and making this a better community. I would hold more events that keep us working together. Many times we are consumed by political issues like immigration that polarize us.
3463	The preservation of natural vegetation & wildlife so close to city life.
3464	The preservation of the beautiful Sonoran Desert is so very important, as is the opportunity to experience so many outdoor rereational activities. It is especially important to me to be able to provide them to my children, as I was in my childhood.
3465	The preserved mountain hills and tops add to magnificience of the greater Tucson area. Also, the water consciousness starting with diversification of sources, conservation efforts by Tucson Water and Water Reclamation and biosolids recycling efforts by Pima County.
3466	The proximity of nature
3467	The proximity of the mountains
3468	The proximity to open spaces and mountains
3469	The proximity to the mountains, desert, city, rural landscape - all are within 20 minutes.
3470	The proximity to the natural world & wild places
3471	The purple sunsets. Seriously
3472	The quality of light in the desert southwest is unparelleled.
3473	The quiet
3474	The quiet and dark nights allow for reflection and concentration without interruption. That is a rare treat in today's world. The peacefullness this affords is a great opportunity to do clear and important thinking, something that is useful if making important decisions. That too is a rare thing.
3475	The quiet.
3476	The raw desert - nature's intrinsic value
3477	The ready availability of culture, nature, diversity.
3478	The reason I moved here. Sunsets!
3479	The region
3480	The respect and humility for the environment.
3481	The run-down areas give a bad impression of the city. So many areas could be improved by simple landscaping (xeriscape). I personally care very much about the way a community looks.
3482	The scenery and mountains
3483	The scenery around Tucson gives it a personal touch. The Rincons, Catalinas, and Tucson Mts help give Tucson character, while many other areas offer Tucson escapes from pure cement areas.
3484	The scenery is amazing, sunsets are different every day
3485	The scenery!
3486	The scenery,climate and friendliness
3487	The sense of 'freedom and peacefulness' I get from seeing the wide open spaces . . . REMARKABLE

3489	The sense of wonder and awe.
3490	The sensory impact of this place I live feeds my soul.
3491	The sheer physsical beauty of the desert.
3492	The size of Tucson; the weather; the people and the general atmosphere make it an enjoyable community to live in.
3493	The sky islands and lush Sonoran desert vegetation are unique to this area.
3494	The sky, the sun, the naturalbeauty
3495	The small town feel and the respect for the desert around us.
3496	The small town feel and the weather
3497	The sonoran desert is a beautiful place. Nothing else like it.
3498	The sonoran desert is a remarkable ecosystem with incredible wildlife, birds, and insects.
3499	The sprawl of Tucson is shameful. Many of us live here for the easy access to wild places. Many of these wild places are being converted to housing developments and decreasing our quality of life.
3500	The state legislature and governor are neanderthals - under funding education, allowing guns everywhere, no concern for the environment, etc.
3501	The summer heat advsersely impacts my quality of life and outlook. I also miss the midwest seasons -- esp. summer and fall.
3502	The summers are very seldom unbearable and with few exceptions the winter months are mild and warm.
3503	The sun
3504	The sun -- sunny days!
3505	The sun always shines
3506	The sun and great outdoors are what make other things passable here in Tucson. We're not taking advantage of what we have.
3507	The sun sets, mountains, zoo, etc.
3508	The sunny days year round make my happy and the sunsets are beautiful.
3509	The sunny weather
3510	The sunny weather contributes to a favorable mood
3511	The sunrises and sunsets are georgous. Plus the mild winter is the best. I love that we can be outdoors most of the year.
3512	The sunset is better than in hawaii
3513	The sunsets are stunning
3514	The sunsets in Tucson are extremly beautiful, and always have colors that set a nice mood before going into the darkness.
3515	The sunshine and hiking
3516	The sunshine and mild winters make this an easy place to live
3517	The sunshine and pleasant weather
3518	The sunshine and warmth is important to me as a native Tucsonan.
3519	The sunshine makes every day nicer.
3520	The sunshine makes what we like; i.e. sunny and bright solar city
3521	The sunshine.
3522	The surrounding area.
3523	The surrounding environment
3524	The surrounding environment (mountains, parks, trails, etc)
3525	The surrounding envrionment (mountains and desert), climate, and western history
3526	The surrounding mountain hills
3527	The surrounding mountain ranges and open space.
3528	The surrounding mountains
3529	The surrounding natural environment.
3530	The surrounding natural resources
3531	The terrain, the geography, the mountains and creeks, and the way foothills homes are required to keep the desert intact
3532	The too hot summers
3533	The topography and climate, with plenty of sunshine bring smiles to my face every day.
3534	The topography of some rolling hills and mountains on all sides of the metro area.
3535	The trees, parks, open spaces, etc. that sustain Nature: birds, ( small & raptors) round tail squirals. One of the remarkable statement I heard from a visiting New Yorker: 'You have birds here. I hear them sing' !!!
3536	The trend to put rocks everywhere causes night time warming; they act a solar collectors during the day. The rocks are unfriendly to urban wildlife such as lizards and birds.
3537	The typically mild weather allows me to enjoy being outside biking, hiking, playing golf, tennis, basketball, dining, etc.
3538	The underdeveloped/natural element of our city
3539	The unique beauty of the Sonoran desert
3540	The unique desert environment is appealing and I like the way in which Tucson, more than other desert cities, tries to embrace that rather than overcome it.
3541	The unique plants and animals, hiking, outdoors activities.
3542	The uniqueness of our Sonoran Desert. We have plants and animals that are only found here. The quality of air and light.
3543	The uniqueness of the desert environment
3544	The uniqueness of the surrounding desert area to anywhere else in the USA
3545	The untouched desert is a great place to go to unwind, get in touch with life
3546	The upland Sonoran Desert ecology is unlike anyplace in the world. So much of the environment is accessible and close by making it easy for people to interact with the physical beauty of Tucson.
3547	The valley surrounded by unmatched mountain views
3548	The value of any community goes up exponentially when nature is incorporated into city design. We have irreplaceable natural resources surrounding Tucson: national parks, forests, state parks. But they're not connected! And we don't even provide public transportation to them or between them!
3549	The varied living creatures you can find
3550	The vegetation: cactus and flowers
3551	The very reason that many of us are drawn to this area--the beauty of the Southwest--keeps getting gobbled up by endless sprawl. This is not a problem unique to Tucson, by any means, but it's sad to see the huge swatches of desert I remember from my youth plowed over to make room for more strip malls and cookie-cutter developments. We need to use in-fill and possibly build more vertically to preserve the outlying areas. At some point, if this valley becomes too developed, I won't want to live here anymore.
3552	The view
3553	The view is beautiful .
3554	The view is fantastic and the desert is unique
3555	The view of mountains everywhere I look Don't obstruct it!
3556	The view of the Catalina Mountains.
3557	The view of the mountains
3558	The view.
3559	The views and sunsets.
3560	The views are amazing here. We have such beautiful sunsets every night, and the mountains are gorgeous. I love it that I can spend time outside year round and that there are many parks and trails. For example, the Rillito River Trail is one of my all time favorite things about my neighborhood. I know if I ever live anywhere else, I will miss that trail. I think Tucson needs to preserve our environmental treasures and really endorse it.
3561	The views are ecellent since you can see east to west from one end of the city to the other. Very few tall buildings.
3562	The views around town are beautiful
3563	The views of mountains & desert
3564	The views of the Catalinas in particular are omnipresent and awe inspiring. Sunsets too

3636	The weather, and being able to play soccer and other outdoor sports year round.
3637	The weather, especially the monsoon season.
3638	The weather, location, people
3639	The weather, most of the time.
3640	The weather, mountains, trails, parks are so awesome. I love seeing people out and about with the family and friends enjoying the outdoors
3641	The weather, not quite as hot as Phoenix, but not as cold as some of the more nothern locations in AZ.
3642	The weather, sunsets, nature trails
3643	The weather, the close proximity to nature and outdoor activities
3644	The weather. (the comunity sucks, too many old people with bad attitudes unfortunatly)
3645	The weather. Summeris my favorite season.
3646	The weather/climate
3647	The weather/nature
3648	The weather/the desert
3649	The well protected and easily accessible wild and wilderness areas close to such a large city allow all citizens to keep in touch with the plants, animals and environment from which we evolved and retain an appreciation for the fragility of our environment and the need to honor and protect it
3650	The wide open spaces that can be accessible for a variety of uses for all, including wildlife as well as human use
3651	The wide variety of life here is amazing and threatened
3652	The wildlife in and around the city
3653	The winter is the most beautiful time of the year and it is not hot.
3654	The winter time
3655	The winter weather
3656	The winter weather months, allow me to do things outdoors like: run, jog, walk, bike ride.
3657	The winter weather.
3658	The winter's in Tucson are bright and sunny and generally warm. Even the coldest days in Tucson are better than the warmest winter days in the Midwest.
3659	The winters
3660	The winters are mild.
3661	The wonderful climate overall;
3662	The wonderful weather of Southern Arizona.
3663	Their majestic, immutable forms that take on a different presence with the changing light is a never-ending source of serenity
3664	Their ticky-tack houses eliminate desert, suck money out of our area, and add nothing to our unique lifestyle.
3665	There are a large number of trails for public use in the Tucson area and they allow people to connect with the natural beauty of the tucson area. Walking, biking and vehicle trails provides endless enjoyment to those who utilize them.
3666	There are a lot of different kinds of outdoor recreation that takes place due to the decent weather the majority of the year an open areas near the city.
3667	There are a lot of different types of critters around Tucson & the surrounding mountains. It is a shame that we have lost our claim to having big horn sheep here though.
3668	There are a lot of lakes around town
3669	There are a lot of things that can be done outdoors.
3670	There are a lot of ugly brown areas that could become greener by planting more trees
3671	There are a lot of walls and rocks to 'beautify,' but more palm trees and oleanders that green to me makes for a more beautiful scene as well as improves air quality
3672	There are beautiful outdoor parks to visit.
3673	There are few places I've lived that make me smile as much as our beautiful sunsets and clean air.
3674	There are little patches of nature around that have not been put there by anyone. They are there because people have left them alone.
3675	There are lots of rides outside of Tucson and the temperature for about 8 months out of the year allows for riding in comfort.
3676	There are lots of ways to continue to develop while protecting our natural desert and wildlife. When we build roads, we should build wildlife crossings, and when we build houses we should include trees, plants and even bird and bat 'housing' for the native species. It is this 'all or nothing' mentality that is causing so many problems. As a builder, I have no problem paying more to protect cactus, plants and trees on the project site, after all I would have to buy these to put back on the site in order to improve its resale value. However, when environmental rules become so 'cost-prohibitive' that they restrain building, then everyone in the community loses as people move elsewhere (including further out where laws are less stringent)
3677	There are many opportunities for education (UA, Pima Community College, etc.), the arts (opera, theatre, music, museums, etc.), and appreciation of nature (Sonora Desert Museum, Mt. Lemmon, Sabino Canyon, etc.).
3678	There are many places, even along major roads, that are ugly and detract from Tucson's beauty. This is especially noticeable when someone moves into town.
3679	There are many ways in which Tucson makes strides beyond what other cities do with respect to water but I find those efforts not good enough with respect to the desert environment we live in. There should be much, much more effort and awareness around water issues. I'm rather appalled at the number of swimming pools alone and that's a rather smallish issue. If there were more public pools available there might be less private ones built. If water prices were significantly higher and I mean significantly higher for people that use gross amounts of water that might help as many people are less environmentally conscious as they are wallet conscious. I wish it weren't so but unfortunately some people won't reduce unless encouraged to do so.
3680	There are more options about things to do in nature
3681	There are mountains
3682	There are no tall buildings blocking the breathtaking views of the fantastic sunsets
3683	There are so many crossovers - biking is good for fitness, the planet, and the natural environment
3684	There are so many opportunities to participate in and enjoy the natural beauty all around us. Whether Sabino Canyon, trail hiking, charity runs, walking the neighborhood, etc.--and of course our lovely, year-round weather--we are so blessed.
3685	There are so many places to go and things to do to stay active and enjoy the beauty of the area. So many knowledgeable volunteers who share their expertise with residents and visitors alike.
3686	There are some communities that are desperate to expand outside their current footprints for the sake of $$. They do not seem to care about our dwindling natural resources or future citizen needs. Somehow they need incentives to stop thinking of their own pocketbooks but the good of the fragile natural environment we live in.
3687	There are some homes built too high up on the slopes of the Catalinas. I want to look at mountains without seeing houses halfway up the side. I want to keep the wildlife we have there. We are encroaching too much. Let's have a 'no home' zone all across the base of the Catalinas. There are already homes there, but what I mean is let's pass some sort of lar or ordinance that would allow NO MORE BUILDING on the sides of the mts.
3688	There are some very scary legislators in Phoenix. Two from my district: Al Melvin and Vic Williams (Terry Proud is also running and is as scary as Al Melvin!). When I moved to Arizona with my young family six years ago (our choice-not brought here by a job), I knew the politics would be more conservative. However, I did not know the politicians would be so psychotic, mean spirited, and doing their damndest to destroy public education and the economy of our state. This (along with the fact that Arizona is filled with citizens who would elect people like this) is the reason our family will be leaving Tucson and Arizona as soon as we are able to secure a job somewhere else... in spite of the beautiful weather and desert. My advice--never make a decision about where to relocate based upon the weather!
3689	There has to be a reason for coming to Tucson. If there is no 'there, here' then why come here. All of my choices are based on making life more interesting and appealing to the world at large and the current residents. Otherwise we are a dusty little town with nothing to do. We need to build on our Mexican and European heritage creating scenic spots to get away from our everyday lives.
3690	There is a great serenity in seeing,being near, and hiking in the mountains
3691	There is a lot of desert landscaping and I feellike we are trying to co-exist with the desert rather than transform it into Ohio.
3692	There is a tremendously broad range of outdoor settings and habitats that provide opportunities for many different types of outdoor activities.
3693	There is actually a horizon that doesn't involve wind-rows.
3694	There is always an activity to do
3695	There is good weather here to go and do whatever your heart desires, alot of fiesta's, walking paths, camp area's
3696	There is no Tucson without protected open space desert preserves including the wildlife thereof. We are not interested in living in a place with all the same culture. Diversity, and respect of diverse thoughts, cultures, opinions and experiences are the cornerstone of Tucson. It is what attracted to the region, and what has kept us here for more than 25 years.
3697	There is nothing like simply looking up and finding the Catalinas, the Rincons, the Santa Ritas and the Tucson mountains to know what direction I am driving in...
3698	There is nothing more important to me now that I have lived here for a while than to walk and see for miles all the way around me. The sunrise and sunset vistas are spectacular and they happen everyday. Other places I have lived miss out on this because of tall buildings, light pollution and other factors.
3699	There is open space in and around Tucson, and I love the Sonoran Desert
3700	There will be a tourism drop - if we destroy our desert what else do we have to offer?
3701	There's a lot of natural beauty here, with the mountains so close. Mt Lemmon is close and gives us a different type of beauty.
3702	There's beauty every day
3703	These areas are habitat for the wildlife I love, and make this area beautiful.
3704	These areas provide recreational, scenic, and aesthetic benefits that can lead to health and happiness
3705	These plants are rare, and it is good to be able to see them throughout Tucson
3706	They are beautiful and bring a sense of place
3707	They are beautiful and one of a kind!
3708	They are beautiful and so close
3709	They are beautiful! They declare God's creation!!
3710	They are healthy and beautiful and we need to keep it that way
3711	They are just beautiful, bygummit.
3712	They are magnificent A reminder of God's Creation to be Looked after and Appreciated not Abused....
3713	They are places to escape city life
3714	They are the wallpaper of my life and make the town seem small and intimate.
3715	They just look beautiful...and make Tucson stand out.
3716	They look awesome!
3717	They make me feel good and somewhat secure. The mountains are so majestic. I know, I know, they're not the Colorado Rockies, but they are Tucson's own. They are like arms hugging you.
3718	They make our landscape beautiful
3719	Things like Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, Desert Museum, hiking trails
3720	Things may have improved a lot in the 10 years since I moved away from Tucson, but the flooding was terrible if it rained even slightly hard.
3721	Things to do for fitness and family bonding
3722	Third world appearance to companies wanting to relocate.
3723	This adds value and beauty to this area that I live and work. It allows me to feel as if I'm living far away from town, when in reality I'm minutes from downtown. I like not having to drive hours and hours or huge entrance fees to go hiking or to enjoy the Tucson mountain areas.
3724	This allows Tucsonans to be more active, which results in a healthier community.
3725	This allows us to enjoy the natural environment we live in for the majority of the year without extensive preparation. Just get out and enjoy it.
3726	This area provides access in a matter of a few hours to every imaginable weather condition. The mountains and skies are just beautiful. More time needs to be taken to appreciate what we have here.
3727	This choice may actually trump the downtown because this is really the reason I live in Tucson. There is a great bike community, many of whom take great advantage of the mostly-friendly streets with fairly safe shoulders or bike lanes (but the really do need to be swept more often), but my crew, in addition to road biking, use the trails all the time and love that unlike Phoenix or NYC, we rarely have to travel more than 40 minutes (if going from N.E. side to 50 yr trail in Catalina) to be in the wonderful scenic expanse of house/building-free areas. During the winter and much of the fall and spring, the weather is ideal!
3728	This could be a meca for developing solar panels - but we don't want to use them (we are overly concerned about views and architecture)
3729	This creates a connection to nature and promotes sustainable living, plus offers healthy lifestyle choices
3730	This desert is unlike any in the world. Along with the close proximity to the mountains, the exposure to a variety of ecological environments are unique.
3731	This doesn't mean sidewalks so much as trees and shade. We don't walk primarily because it is too hot and we want to stay out of the sun. Sign codes could be revised to allow visibility for businesses. This is important to me because I live in a part of town that is reasonably walkable and others, especially those who rely on bus transportation, should have the same benefits.
3732	This goes with #2, giving residents alternatives to driving is always good for a city's population and the environment
3733	This includes weather, geography, topography, and biology.
3734	This is a beautiful city with beautiful people. It hurts me personally to see so many run-down buildings along major streets -- like Speedway, Grant, etc. Our city needs to go on a major beautification project. We need improved signs on businesses, better landscaping. Zoning (Speedway) years ago was bad. I'm not sure how that can change, but it sure would be nice to get a bunch of money to improve how our city looks! My husband resisted moving here for a long time because he thought it looked 'junky'. Is this our strategy for keeping others out???
3735	This is a desert and not every sprawling private community needs a golf course, nor is there water to sustain such extravagance! In my view, it is a game that uses resources that are precious in this climate wastefully and is a game of exculsivity and not inclusivity. The continual building of new housing does not seem to keep in mind the limited water resources with which we live.
3736	This is a unique and interesting biological and geographical region. The landscape and bioscape is what makes living here worthwhile.
3737	This is a unique place. The mountains, the flora and fauna of this place is like no other. This goes along with its weather and blue skies.
3738	This is an amazing area, the plants that have adapted, the mountains, the desert makes for a great mix
3739	This is an ecologically fascinating desert region - the most biologically diverse of the world's true desert regions. I'm fascinated by how so many plants and animals have adapted to so little water. Would that humankind could also adapt.
3740	This is an incredible and distinct landscape.
3741	This is an outstanding park. It supports our desire for long hikes and wildlife.
3742	This is an outstanding place for people to get to know about the Sonoran Desert while also having an opportunity to participate in taking care of part of our natural heritage. It is also a great place to hike, bike, picnic, and explore. And, it is a great place for people from all walks of life to come together with a common purpose.
3743	This is of course impossible, but would make Tucson temps absolutely perfect year round!
3744	This is one of the few places which lend itself to complete rainbows and incredible sunsets. Other places I've lived I can see neither because of too many trees or houses blocking the views. The monsoon lightning displays are also awe inspiring.
3745	This is one of the most beautiful places on the planet... What else can be said... We shouldn't 'Californicate' it.
3746	This is particularly important to me because I work with Seniors, who buy houses or mobile homes out in the desert. They they can't get public transportation, they have to pay separately for the fire department and trash collection, and they complain about many other things. If the City and the County laws and taxes mirrored each other, there would be less incentive to tear up the desert, and there would be enough income from taxes to pay for services.
3747	This is the DESERT! Why is so much water being wasted on grass that doesn't belong here???
3748	This is the only place and the hottest place I have ever lived where developers fight having to install landscaping and plant trees. What is ironic about this is trees bring sense of place into a human scale, provide shade, photsynthesis supplementing the air we breathe, and a feeling of well being. Trees give protection and nurturing but not here. Pedestrians run from shade spot to shade spot and people always look for trees in parking lots, but trees are not a community priority. Very Sad for such a hot dry climate.
3749	This is the only place you can see them
3750	This is unique to the semi-arid SW where there is creosote. The fragrance after a rain is so pleasing!
3751	This is what brought me here in the first place -- the amazing Sonoran Desert, the mountains, the big sky, the summer heat.
3752	This is what has kept me in Tucson and I am devastated every time I see the bull dozers destroying yet another swath of desert vegetation, saguaros in particular, and wild life habitat. I love to walk in the desert, I love to take my dogs up 'A' Mountain and along the trails so lovingly cared for by Senor Carlos. I am in awe everytime we have a spring wild flower display, from the poppies to the tiniest of yellow, oink, and white flowers. I enjoy my visits from the javalina, even when they eat things that I should have known better than to plant where they can get them. I listen to the coyotes and watch the hawks, try hard not to encounter rattle snakes, and am fascinated by the tarantulas and scorpians. Pack rats and kissing bugs, I could do without, but no paradise is perfect!
3753	This is what keeps me here above all else - makes me feel alive and wanting to protect this fragile place on the planet. The challenge to create a vibrant community that respects its place in the desert is one of my responsibilities as a member of this community.
3754	This is what makes Tucson unique.
3755	This makes Tucson and enjoyable place to live, the Arizona/Sonoran Desert Museum and other places to hike and enjoy the outdoors are all the positives for me
3756	This makes our city ugly. I would seek to have our infrustructure look more like Chandler AZ
3757	This moderate, temperate weather of the Tucson fall and spring seems just about ideal. Summers do get too hot and humid, monsoon storms can be terrifying, and winters can be a little too cool.
3758	This one should be obvious - it's a desert and we rely heavily on ground water
3759	This really is what is so unique about this area. We need to make sure that it is preserved with carefull planning and not allowing mass clearing and development with no regard to native plant preservation, loss of dark skies and wildlife corridors
3760	This shows us as being ahead of the curve, and embracing methods that give us the comforts of civilized society without destroying the desert around us to get it
3761	This speaks for itself
3762	This unique lifeform and the environment in which it thrives tell me I am in a divinely blessed place.
3763	This would promote longevity and a more peaceful type of life in this beautiful region. And if not that...then my #3 item would be to develop a REAL downtown. This would bring more business to this community from both locals and visitors.
3764	Though it gets plenty hot during the summer months, the other 7 mos. are tolerable to great
3765	Though we had a recent cold spell, there's nothing like the mild winters here we've come to enjoy.
3766	Thousands of people move here every year for the weather and the amenities, but all I seem to hear from locals are complaints. Government sucks, Rio Nuevo is a boondoggle, there's nothing to do here. There are problems everywhere. Let's try to solve them instead of whining endlessly.
3767	To be aesthetically intrigued and nourished is of growing importance to me as I grow older.
3768	To encourage a healthy city physical fitness wise, safety wise and environment wise (discourage car use)
3769	To have a better world
3770	To have the natural environment close and accesible is nourishing
3771	To keep from sprawl we need density, but it hurts views (example: TMC)
3772	To preserve the beauty of our environment and natural growth
3773	To protect the desert that remains. Keeps transportation costs down
3774	To show better respect for our natual surroundings it is important to use better planning as a tool to consolidate growth in the areas that are best suited for it. It is also important to provide wildlife corridors to maintain our natural ecosystems.
3775	Too hot and too dry
3776	Too hot in summer
3777	Too many of the subdivisions are out of character w/ the desert and w/ Tucson, poorly constructed and will look like a slum in 20 years while great older areas are deteriorating
3778	Too many people are uneducated when it comes to preserving the nature in Tucson. Newcomers need to have a course in how to maintain the Sonoran Desert and it's wildlife. Killing snakes, Mountain Lions, and other animal life is too accepted. People need to be taught to coexist with nature and how to preserve it. Building in natural habitats should be prohibited so that we are seen as a community that honors nature.
3779	Too much expansion and not using what is available. We are not using the buildings that are already in existence, we keep building out and destroying our views
3780	Too much natural areas are being destroyed
3781	Too much reliance on weather and attractoiong low wage employers...
3782	Topography
3783	Tourism brings in visitors and new residents. Quality of life - enjoying the parks and nature
3784	Tourism is huge here and most come for warm weather and beautiful desert scenery. Desert is getting increasingly fragmented, so it would be nice to see more of a push to protect what's left.
3785	Tourism/retiree? attracts people (snowbirds) (drawing of saguaro and mountains)
3786	Traffic, especially one person per car travel, is destroying the beauty that is Tucson. More roads are built, but it just seems to make congestion worse. We need to stop -- and shift to a new paradigm for moving people from one place to another. We need a strong, interconnected network of mass transit options.
3787	Trails and access to the desert
3788	Transition to planned and beautiful avenues throughout the city
3789	Transplants miss seasons, Mt. Lemmon is our access to seasonal change
3790	Travel to other parts of AZ is easy, beautiful mountains, habitats, Colorado River. Shopping in PHX, sporting events in PHX
3791	Tree-lined paths or streets would make things much more pleasant in the summer
3792	Trees add ecological benefits, provide clean air, shade and look good.
3793	Trees and flowers
3794	Trees look good and make you feel good.
3795	Trees should be replaced when killed by storms and protected in construction zones. Example: during street widening at Grant andCraycroft, an unsightly old saguaro full of holes was retained, but a large, beautiful jacaranda tree which provided lovely purple blooms each spring for years was annilated. It could have been saved by routing the sidewalk around it! Many palo verdes were destroyed too!
3796	Trying to protect the desert merits a higher tax rate!!!
3797	Tucons' natural beauty
3798	Tucson Landscape/Climate
3799	Tucson Mountain Park, Catalina State Park, Agua Caliente Natural Resources Park, Mt. Lemmon, etc.
3800	Tucson Weather
3801	Tucson always takes the quick fix instead making sound long term goals. We should be giving resources and create new code to infill projects, boosting independently run small businesses and keep our surrounding environment a place where all creatures can live. Take on stweardship of our environment seriously.
3802	Tucson beautiful
3803	Tucson could be one of the jewels of the Southwest we have a great environment, nice people, and a terrific desert, but we have given it over to those who build cheap buildings, planned a road system which is increasingly unworkable, and ignore standard aesthetic designs. It's important because the gap between what Tucson is and what is could be depresses me.
3804	Tucson could become more beautiful if we could clean up some neighborhoods of junk, etc. could be a volunteer effort to help those who need it. Also, let,s keep trash off the sides of the beautiful roadways. I like to see nice things, and I also like to volunteer to help others.
3805	Tucson embraces the fact that we live in the desert and our front yard landscapes in residential settings and the professional landscape designs in retail/commercial properties show this.
3806	Tucson has a climate that enables me to never shovel snow again. I enjoy the proximity to mountains and the various seasons that allow for outdoor activities.
3807	Tucson has a fabulous climate. It is a visually beautiful place in which to live!
3808	Tucson has a great heritage of conservation and remaining close to our desert surroundings. Large areas of open space are intermixed with the suburban growth - and while many people would prefer less 'sprawl' this pattern of ranch homes on acreage is truly a unique characteristic of Tucson that sets it apart from many urban, planned communities. While new urbanization is very much supported, I think it is important to also recognize how much of the flavor of Tucson comes from individuals being able to live close to the desert (as opposed to close to work, shopping, or entertainment venues). The challenge is to find infrastructure (regional transportation options) that can bridge those individuals who choose to live closer to the desert with those who choose the new urbanization.
3809	Tucson has a lot of beautiful things - mountains, historical sites, all the richness - but it's because of the community we have, our families that we want good things to look at
3810	Tucson has a lot to offer in the summer months
3811	Tucson has a nice collection of beautiful historic structures
3812	Tucson has a nice weather where you don't have to suffer from snow and if you want temporary snow you can do to the Mountains
3813	Tucson has been allowed to become a series of strip malls, each of which has a different design. As these malls age, they become uglier and uglier. While we do not have to be like Santa Fe, more emphasis should be placed on the beauty of the residential and commercial architecture.
3814	Tucson has embraced that it is in the desert unlike Phx
3815	Tucson has lost so much of the native habitat and desert vegetation that gives it a unique southwestern feel, additional loss and Tucson becomes just another 'big city'
3816	Tucson has natural beauty and there are a lot of places to go hiking.
3817	Tucson has so much to offer- the climate, the mountains, the ability to do almost anything outdoors for 350 days per year.
3818	Tucson has some beautiful mountain ranges, and the most beautiful desert you can imagine. I love the natural desert vegetation and the creatures found around here
3819	Tucson has some of the most beautiful, natural sights that I have ever seen. From Mt. Lemmon, to the Catalinas, and the natural beauty of the desert, its' vista are superb.
3820	Tucson id quite possibly the place the Lord will eventually retire, it is one of the most beautiful, breathtaking towns in America.
3821	Tucson is HOT! More trees= more shade and cooler temps
3822	Tucson is a beautiful place to live. Surrounded by mountains, desert, wildlife, dark skies which project the moon and stars like on a canvas - bike and hiking trails - What more could you want in a place called home?
3823	Tucson is a beautiful place to live. We are surrounded by gorgeous mountain ranges, and even the buildings here are so beautiful and colorful. I love all the murals and the investment people have in their properties.
3824	Tucson is a desert town. We do not need more golf courses or swimming pools in every backyard. We had water in the Santa Cruz River and now there is none. The developers get as many faucets as they ask for regardless of who will be penalized later
3825	Tucson is a great place to bring people visiting Arizona for the first time because it seems to have more natural beauty than Phoenix. And who doesn't love Tucson sunsets?
3826	Tucson is a great place to live. We do not have to worry about extreme weather conditions. Personally, I believe it is a great place to live and recreate.
3827	Tucson is a huge small town. Everyone has connections to everyone else, and most importantly, our city has character. The combination of its scenery, its history, its university, its climate, and now even its nightlife, make it the best place in the state to live.
3828	Tucson is a perfectly sized city. Even though the metro area has over 1 million people, the layout of the city makes it feel more intimate. Also, you are never far away from wilderness.
3829	Tucson is a place where you can see for 50 miles - open-ness makes you feel good.
3830	Tucson is a rare opportunity where a beautiful setting, temperate climate and rich cultural heritage have converged in an era when cultural heritage tourism is known to be an economic driver. The lack of commitment and lack of resources given over to this opportunity is an appalling lack of vision.
3831	Tucson is an absolutely beautiful place to live. Being able to experience the outdoors is essential. We need to maintain great outdoor venues, less trafficked areas etc...
3832	Tucson is close enough to other attrations or out door events. mountians, sking, fishing hunting etc
3833	Tucson is defined by its natural environment and diverse desert ecosystem. The Saguaro cactus, in particular, is an iconic western landmark for Tucson, and should be preserved and protected at all costs.
3834	Tucson is easy to live in. Modest cost of living. Great weather and many cultural and recreational options exist and are easy to get to. Culture is laid back.
3835	Tucson is expanding out into pristine desert along with the infrastructure that goes along with providing homes. This costs everyone, what about the older neighborhoods, what are they getting?
3836	Tucson is in a beautiful location.
3837	Tucson is in a valley surrounded by four spectacular mountain ranges, making for great hikes and bicycle rides in the surrounding area.
3838	Tucson is in the perfect location that culminates into the best weather conditions and relatively low danger from natural disasters. Also Tucson offers a very unique ability of not being too large a city with many metropolis problems, and not being too small a city with not much to offer.
3839	Tucson is losing its natural desert beauty we have way to many houses,aparments and business buildings up and are still being built.desert gets destroyed everytime something new gets built
3840	Tucson is naturally beautiful but fragile
3841	Tucson is not boring, you have a lot of mountains
3842	Tucson is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and has one of the best climates in the US. I daily enjoy the beauty of the Sonoran Desert, the changing light and colors of the mountains and the sunshine!
3843	Tucson is proud of its outdoor heritage. We live in a natural environment, and most of us become stewards of our own little piece of it. No grass and fountains....
3844	Tucson is so beautiful and some roads need resurfacing
3845	Tucson is so beautiful on the outskirts - the downtown area is all cement and is just not something to be proud of
3846	Tucson is such a spectacularly beautiful place. The desert and mountains, canyons, streambeds and endless trails to explore. The variety of flora and fauna. The sunsets and wide open vistas.
3847	Tucson is surrounded by 4 beautiful mountain ranges. The desert landscape is also beautiful.
3848	Tucson is surrounded by a great deal of open space and natural beauty and mountains
3849	Tucson is surrounded by mountains and desert. People come from around the world to visit them. Building projects that disassociate Tucsonans and visitor from them only benefit a few. Specifically Pima Canyon and Cherrystone are examples to learn from. To that end, protect wildlife corridors.
3850	Tucson is surrounded by natural beauty and has a very unique climate. While local growth can't affect the climate, it could negatively impact some of the natural beauty that is all around us, that which makes us unique. Any growth in this city should incorporate this unique environment. Design should play off our environment and open spaces should be used when at all possible.
3851	Tucson is wicked beautiful. I love walking the Rillito River trail with my dog every morning and evening. I love being surrounded by beautiful mountains. I love that everyone else in Tucson loves to be outside!
3852	Tucson mountains
3853	Tucson nature
3854	Tucson needs to look to business and the people that live here to clean up their yards, Parks and old historical building. There is such a need to make Tucson look like a clean and beautiful place to live. First impressions are lasting and when you exsist the Interstate and all you see is trash and unkept houses it does not make for a good impression. This is something that a city could have as a compain for schools, business and the citizen of Tucson and it would show the pride that people have for their city.
3855	Tucson offers many hiking trail, animal exhibits and zoos. Also, the botanical gardens are very nice. Tohono Chul Park is quaint and informative.
3856	Tucson recognizes that it is in the desert and doesn't try to be an LA wannabe. It's not as rushed as Phx.
3857	Tucson reflects a feeling of being in the desert more so than Phoenix. A city that makes the effort to live in the desert rather than on it.
3858	Tucson seems to be a diverse town in several ways. Our proximity to the border allows for a strong Hispanic community. Our climate allows for retirees to come here from all over the country. But Tucson also seems to have more political diversity than other towns in Arizona. This diversity is a strength that has yet to be developed.
3859	Tucson seems to be poised to take on the environmental and cultural challenges ahead
3860	Tucson winters are the best. Summer not.
3861	Tucson wouldn't exist without the weather
3862	Tucson's downtown is an eyesore, in general.
3863	Tucson's environmental natural capital has as its foundation an aquifer that supports local species diversity and health
3864	Tucson's fragile relationship with nature is far from sustainable, there is too little recycling and conservation and far too much waste and destruction of our fragile ecosystem - Water conservation for example needs to be better implemented and supported through tax incentives and other measures
3865	Tucson's guests mention that the summer's are to hot. In reality, one makes adjustments to the weather just as they would make adjustments in other parts of the United States during the winter. There is a lot to offer in Tucson during June, July, and August.
3866	Tucson's lovely weather allows us to enjoy outdoor activities throughout most of the year.
3867	Tucson's majestic beauty and amazing outdoor spaces
3868	Tucson's mountains, desert and wide open skies are beautiful. We have the best sunsets ever!
3869	Tucson's natural beauty and deep historical roots.
3870	Tucson's natural landscape also helps define the city, and provides wonderful opportunities to enjoy nature.
3871	Tucson's open space and setting, surrounded by mountains, are important to preserve. The more that gets developed, the longer it takes to get out of town to open space.
3872	Tucson's proximity to a diverse landscape and environmental setting is the main reason I moved here. The mountains and wilderness surrounding Tucson are one of the biggest assets, and I would not live in Tucson without them.
3873	Tucson's roads are extremely confusing, and often they are in poor shape, poorly lit, poorly painted, etc. A more direct route to the northeast would be fantastic, because there's so much of beautiful tucson up there.
3874	Tucsonans value the desert and the environment in general. They recycle, pick up trash, adopt streets, and use the public parks, especially Mount Lemmon.
3875	Tuscon definitely have nicer weather.Summer though temparature is high but still better than lower temparatures combined with high humidity. Winters are absolutely amaziing.
3876	Typically - there is sunshine almost every day here. I think most people are generally more pleasant when they see more sunshine.
3877	Typically mild and lots of sunshine weather makes this area a pleasant place to live
3878	Uggggllllly. From housing to retail. Huge redevelopment needs to occur to make this place attractive. The only attractive part is the natural environment.
3879	Ugly streetscape
3880	Ugly streetscape like Broadway, 22nd, and Speedway
3881	Uncontrolled development destroys the desert and obscures the mountains. It uses more water than we have. And it does nothing to create permanent jobs.
3882	Undeveloped Sonoran desert and Sky Islands
3883	Undeveloped desert and mountains

3906	Usually a nice day don't have to shovel snow
3907	Variations of altitude
3908	Variety in what there is to do in Tucson
3909	Variety of ecology from mountains to riparian areas and the variety of wildlife if of primary value to me for hiking, viewing, and just knowing they are there.
3910	Variety of trees and plants
3911	Vast tracts of tightly packed houses that are not designed for sustainability or environmental conservation is not supportable in this climate
3912	Versitility of things to do - except in the summer.
3913	Very accessible natural environment
3914	Very dry and dehydrating - lack of vegetation
3915	Very funny story appear in the community
3916	Very good for retired people
3917	Very nice area, clean and beautiful landscape.
3918	View from the freeway

3944	Walking paths in the area are a plus
3945	Walking, hiking, and other outdoor activities are crucial to my well being. Getting out into unspoiled areas nearby restores my soul. The beauty of the mountains, sky, native plants and animals are a very valuable asset for the community and a necessary part of living for me personally.
3946	Want to bring the magice of nature back into the city, bring uniqueness back (example: community gardening)
3947	Want to keep the diversity and characteristics of the current plant community
3948	Want to maintain the environment near Tucson, keep it close and accessible

3960	Warm weather inhibits use of public transit
3961	Warm winter weather
3962	Warm winters and mountains
3963	Warm winters are nice. Shoveling snow, ice, snow boots, and etc are now a thing of the past.
3964	Warm winters, tennis all year 'round.
3965	Warm winters- 3 1/2 months - encourage outdoor activity
3966	Warm-ish in the winter; not ridiculous in the summer, if you have lived here a while. LOTS to do (those who say otherwise are afraid of getting out of breath): Sabino Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, hiking, biking.
3967	Warmer is better with advancing years
3968	Warmer weather than my home state of Wisconsin
3969	Warmth in the winter
3970	Warmth of the sun.
3971	Washes lead to lot premiums
3972	Water is the key to the desert environment because it is a limited resource
3973	Water wars- need a more regional plan that takes others' needs into consideration
3974	Ways for community to engage nature
3975	We Tucsonans have an abundant about of Sunshine. This leads to a happy community.
3976	We all enjoy getting outdoors and being active.
3977	We are a desert, let's not try to make Tucson look like Cleveland, Ohio
3978	We are contaminating the world
3979	We are living in a landscape that exists nowhere else in the world.
3980	We are nearby many national parks, Native American reservations, wildlife habitats and important sites in American history.
3981	We are not a concrete city. There is green space and plants. The mountains are visible from all parts of town.
3982	We are not all just concrete.
3983	We are safe from natural disasters
3984	We are senior citizens and we appreciate no snow.
3985	We are surrounded by mountains, a hugh variety of flora and unique plants.
3986	We are surrounded by so many natural beautiful resources.
3987	We both love the desert and the beautiful mountains. It's like waking up at a four star resort without the charges!.
3988	We can always be outside, it's enjoyable not to be in snow
3989	We can be outside all year round, barbeque, run, bike
3990	We can get out to enjoy nature and take walks.
3991	We can possible reverse some environmental problems
3992	We can't continue to over-use natural resources (e.g. water, energy & desert ecology) without facing a future economic and environmental crisis.
3993	We can't fix the transportation system without affecting other things. We need to develop higher paying jobs or kids can't stay. Need balance, but we can't sacrifice the environment to create jobs. Finding that balance between all of this is a true challenge
3994	We can't lose our young people that are bored with Tucson. I think that the Tucson area could support an amusement park off the I-10 for the jobs and recreation for younger kids. (The old gravel pits would be perfect) Environmental and beautiful. Roller coasters could be placed in the already made pits
3995	We can't survive without it.
3996	We couldn't enjoy Tucson if we have East Coast weather!
3997	We currently and have planned our infrastructure for cars, we need connectivity,from work to neighborhood to places to play and shop. also we need to plan with the uniqueness of desert in mind.
3998	We do not have natural disasters or extreme conditions
3999	We don't do well in cold, snowy, rainy weather. Much easier for us to get around.
4000	We don't have natural disasters
4001	We get people from all over the world here, national performers/performances, there's a community for every person here. Many of them come for all of the winter events when everyone else is freezing cold (Rodeo, Gem Show, etc)
4002	We get to enjoy outdoor weather for more months than the rest of the country
4003	We get to have the mountains and the desert.
4004	We get to spend more time outdoors
4005	We graduate so many intelligent, energetic, creative people at the U of A every year...and then they move somewhere else b/c they can get paid better almost anywhere else in the country. Intelligent, energetic, creative, professional people move here every year b/c of the weather & the beauty of the area...and then they move b/c they can't support their families on what people get paid here. I own a business and have seen some of the marketing that has been done to draw business to Tucson ('Bring your business to Tucson. You don't have to pay people much here'.) That is totally self defeating. We have to build the middle class here. If we want to keep innovators here and keep moving forward, we have to pay people decently...and then that money will move throughout the Tucson economy for the benefit of all.
4006	We grew up in the midwest and hate cold weather.
4007	We have a beautifully diverse community
4008	We have a major research resource in the U of A, lot's of open land and the most sunshine of any city in the country. That we don't lead the country and rightly the world in solar development is shameful.
4009	We have a nice warm climate
4010	We have a year-round growing season, but we are not making food available to those who need it
4011	We have access to wild areas, hiking close to the city. We have wild life in town. We do not need to go far to enjoy an outdoors wild experience.
4012	We have accessible wildlife because of our parks and bike paths
4013	We have always liked mountains
4014	We have an abundance of sun - get rid of mountain top mining, all coal mining as its polluting our environment
4015	We have beautiful land, extraordinary wildlife & weather that supports healthy outdoor activities and appreciation of nature; hiking, golf, picnics, outdoor community & social events
4016	We have beautiful sunsets and many parks/mountains/outdoor locations to enjoy the warm weather and scenery
4017	We have cycling weather pretty much all year. California towns have downtown cycle/scooter parking and it encourages taking only what you need on any downtown errand
4018	We have great weather, and the desert is magnificent along with our mountain treasures.
4019	We have hot days and cold days. Overall the weather is great for being outside whenever you want and I think that makes for a healthier lifestyle.
4020	We have saved and treasure our natural beauties surrounding our area. There are alot of people who live here who are committed to saving the land from cement and houses. I love being able to drive 15-20 minutes and I am in the beautiful dessert taking a hike.
4021	We have some of the most beautiful desert anywhere. We do need to re-double our efforts to protect it. Run-away development has ruined too much of it.
4022	We have some of the most beautiful mountain views that I have seen in the desert.
4023	We have some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, so why don't we see any movies being made here anymore? Are our taxes too high? Are our fees too much? I don't know, but I do know that movies bring people here, and once they see this place they are more likely to love it like I do! Let's get some pictures rolling!
4024	We have some safe and beautiful communities
4025	We have such a beautiful setting here in the valley, surrounded by mountains. However some major routes seem so poorly planned and trashy/weedy, like they are lined with tired strip malls. Attractively landscaped avenues (desert-friendly plants, of course) would inhance the area for residents and visitors.
4026	We have such a terrific climate for outdoor activities, but it's often dangerous to walk/bike around town.
4027	We have sunny weather anyway, utilize it.
4028	We have taken so little advantage of this abundant resource.
4029	We have the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, Monument Valley..need I go on? A weekend trip around our state provides so much nature, historical insights and relaxation!
4030	We have the best weather and 4 seasons
4031	We have the cool mountains nearby and southern California is close enough to drive to, without having to live there.
4032	We have the most beautiful surroundings, mountains, desert, readily accessible. And the weather is such that we can enjoy the outdoors year round.
4033	We hike regularly, walk daily, watch the stars and otherwise appreciate the beautiful natural environment. My idea of 'winter' is a 60 degree, sunny day -- with an occasional rainstorm to keep the cactus happy!
4034	We like our outdoor sports and weather permits our hobbies
4035	We live here for access to the desert and the mountains. If Rosemont and other mines destroy those venues, why stay?
4036	We live in a desert with limited water access. We waste water enormously
4037	We live in a desert!!! Where is all of this water coming from? and who/what are we stealing it from?!? I would like to see incentives for conserving water and sanctions on how much water can be used and for what. We need to be able to supply our own water demand without taking it from somewhere else.
4038	We live in a desert, use groundwater, get very little rainfall and people think that water is unlimited. Need to change that way of thinking really fast.
4039	We live in an interesting and diverse landscape, from--essentially Canada (top of Mount Lemmon)-- to the Gulf of California. I love living in a place that's desert, but surrounded by mountains
4040	We live in paradise. Sure the summers are hot, but we know how to escape the heat. The rest of the year is perfect and our sonoran desert is a precious resource for us to enjoy.
4041	We live in the NW Tucson area and can walk along the washes to maintain a sense of nature from our house. KEEP green space and undisturbed areas. I've lived in big(ger) cities on both the East and West coast, which have become giant parking lots. Tucson still has the desert appeal.
4042	We love being outside; able to hike and live outdoors most of the year. I have a childhood injury which would have prohibited winter activity in most climes.
4043	We love the beauty of the desert
4044	We love the bird Aviary's, The summer evening programs, and see any wildflowers in the spring.
4045	We love the out of doors and hiking. It is our main form of recreation. There are so many beautiful and accessible trails of all levels to make a great day for either a short hike or a longer one.
4046	We love to be outside and enjoy the sun and the sunsets here are the best anywhere!
4047	We manage the heat well
4048	We moved here over 30 years ago for health reasons. The warm, dry climate was good for spouse's asthma.
4049	We moved to AZ 24 years ago for the economy and the weather. Now all we have left is the weather.
4050	We must be self-sustainable to survive in a harsh climate.
4051	We need a central place for event advertising. Desert Diamond Casino does a great job with the billboards they have around town. I am often frustrated because I hear about a really cool event that happened, only 3 days after it took place...
4052	We need animals and our planet
4053	We need it for oxygen
4054	We need on-going community awareness about our effects on the desert
4055	We need the sunshine to feel good. Also can attend many events
4056	We need to attract a Triple A franchise to Tucson and to bring more people to downtown Tucson. A baseball stadium with either downtown or mountain views will bring around 10,000 people to downtown Tucson. Additionally, a 15,000 seat arena with luxury boxes would attract concerts, a minor league basketball or hockey team, NCAA men's basketball tournaments, and possibly 1 or 2 UofA basketball games.
4057	We need to be realistic that we live in a desert with limited water and otherwise live in a sustainable manner
4058	We need to devise ways to make our community less of a burden to our natural resources. We should be the leaders in the development of eco-friendly ways for desert communities to live in harmony with their surroundings.
4059	We need to enjoy and take of our natural resources but we must stop worshiping them because it destroying our ability to grow and prosper.
4060	We need to preserve our foothills and mountains. They become un-sightly quickly when housing or commercial development is allowed on our mountains.
4061	We need to remember we live in a desert. We are using water, squandering water, as if it were going to run for ever.
4062	We need to restructure the economy to facilitate and enable our transition to becoming a permanent desert people
4063	We need to walk and bike everywhere (for the health of it, and to experience the beauty around us more personally)
4064	We only have two major bicycle races. We need to take advantages of our beautiful weather and the huge amount of cyclist that live in our community. More races will bring more economic stimulis to our region.
4065	We respect historically-important communities (downtown barrios, Old Fort Lowell, etc.); we protect habitats; we can see the sky.
4066	We risk inner city blight (already have inner city blight) when we allow residents to continue to abandon the old for the new. I see formerly beautiful neighborhoods rundown by landlords who do not take care of their rental properties with any sense of pride. The older, larger lots become parking lots of excess recreational vehicles, clunkers and the cars of multiple adults renting. It makes 'older' Tucson look unattractive and not worthy of the investment of business.
4067	We should have more community gardens specifically serving poor neighborhoods. With climate change, food security (and water conservation) will become paramount.
4068	We still have the warmth because when it's winter everybody is freezing
4069	We strive to improve our natural environment and beauty
4070	We take advantage of the symphony, theatre, desert museum, nature, variety of restaurants, Uof A events, golf courses
4071	We values the desert - it's a unique environment
4072	We visit Tucson (to see our kids and attend football games) about 4 or 5 times each school year. We love the sunsets. Not to many towns have sunsets that turn the mountains purple. It's gorgeous.
4073	We want a planet left here for our kids
4074	We wanted to live in a warm year-round climate in a beautiful area. Eliminating things like dealing with harsh weather conditions has made it very comfortable for us in retirement age.
4075	We will have as good, beautiful, pleasant place to live as we can afford.
4076	We will not have the beautiful mountains to look at if our transportation continues to operate as it is doing. The amount of cars on the road is ridiculous and the lack of reliable, fast transportation in unheard of for a city this size. The roads need to be better planned and we need to make it attractive for people to use public transportation.
4077	We'll need it as the water runs out due to Climate Destabilization cutting down the flow from the Colorado.
4078	We're a unique part of the world
4079	We're in a special unique place and that pride of place contributes to our quality of life
4080	We're in the desert - water use is important (if not the most important thing)
4081	We're no Phoenix with big grass lawns - we appreciate our desert plants
4082	We've already made too many compromises with protecting and enhancing our natural environment.
4083	We've lost a lot desert thru sprawl--it's time for higher density

4174	Well-kept street trees
4175	Well...the summer heat, but there's no changing that!
4176	What an awesome environment to live in. I love the beauty of the mountains, great parks and recreation areas such as Sabino Canyon and not to mention the awesome sunsets. I've lived across the U.S. but nothing beats Tucson. There's nothing better than walking Sabino Canyon and watching the four seasons of cacti.
4177	What an enjoyable climate we are blessed with.
4178	What can you say about our beautiful winters. We have lived in Tucson since 1946 and have loved every moment.
4179	What has always appealed most to my about Tucson is its proximity to the desert, its relative isolation ('desert island mentality'), and its position as an international gateway. Recent policies in this country have, unfortunately, altered the ease and friendliness of international cooperation and views; however, the fact that Tucson is one hundred miles or more from another urban area, and that much of the land surrounding it is Federal land, open and protected, continues, for me, to be a large draw.
4180	What is Tucson's sense of place in relation to development
4181	What more do I need to say?
4182	What more is to say. The mountains can be seen from everywhere, and provide relief from the heat. A short trip in any direction gets one out of the city and into the country.
4183	What people see doesn't reflect the beauty and community value
4184	What's not to like about the Tucson winters?!
4185	What's with sending water clear out Valencia? Why are we not building within instead of sprawling out every where. And why are we building more than we have buyers for. It not only destroys our beautiful desert, it hurts existing homeowners who are trying to sell. Why are there no connecting highways instead of all this street traffic!!!
4186	When I travel to other cities I often notice how nice their common/public areas are. We don't need large expensive projects neccessarily. Landscaping improvements and simply providing good maintenance on what we have would go a long way.
4187	When I travel to other desert cities I am amazed at how nice they look. There are many desert plants that require very low water use and in return provide shade and cooling. Our city does not value desert plant material even though plants make a community a livable space.
4188	When I was in Russia it was really cold. When we came to America, I had wished that there was a state where it's not cold and it doesn't snow
4189	When an area is clean and properly landscaped, whether naturally or by adding native vegetation, it is pleasurable to enjoy the amazing weather we have been given. From sunrise to sunsets, and enjoying the outdoors.
4190	When ever people come in they always want to go out and see the javilinas and the bobcats they are so amazing and look so peacefull
4191	When in Oregon, you can't see anything but the trees
4192	When people get out of their cars, incredible things start to happen. They meet their neighbors. They exercise everyday as a routine of getting around. By this the environment wins, general public health and mental state all improve while becoming a community which understands itself because we have had to look each other in the eye out on the street.
4193	Whenever I travel to Phoenix, there is an abundance of trees that shade streets and sidewalks. Few of Tucons's streets are shaded in this manner. This makes walking and waiting for the bus hot and uncomortable. More trees might encourage less use of automobiles.
4194	Where I come from you only see buildings
4195	Where I used to live was really cold in the winter
4196	Where I'm from there isn't any mountains and the sunsets and sunrises are amazing against the backdrop of the mountains.
4197	Where else can you wear shorts on Christmas day!
4198	Whether hiking biking etc, the natural landscape is amazing...always something different, and the light is fantastic
4199	Which will shape our future economically, socially, and dollar wise
4200	While I don't really enjoy it when it is very hot here, I do like not having to deal with cold and snow. The winters are great and the weather durning the fall is magnificant.
4201	While I still don't like the 100+ degrees we get in the summer I think we have some of the best weather in the country. If we want to go skiing or see snow we can go to Mt. Lemmon or head up to the White Mountains.
4202	While Tucson has some beautiful aspects there are so many area that are just as ugly (ie: Speedway Blvd).
4203	While challenging at times due to the heat, the weather here is conducive to indoor/outdoor living that is unique to our area.
4204	While the city is filled with tacky strip malls and way too many billboards, the surrounding environment is gorgeous and humbles me continually. The light shows are like nowhere else in the world.
4205	White roofs reflect the sun (not on all houses, lot of tile roofs)
4206	Who can't be happy watching the sun rise and the sun set over the mountains each day.
4207	Who doesn't like good weather? The Sonoran Desert is amazingly diverse and interesting. It feels like we have something special worth protecting, defending and sharing with others.
4208	Who wouldn't like the climate?
4209	Why hasn't this been done? We live in the desert!
4210	Wild life
4211	Wild life and nature trails
4212	Wilderness
4213	Wilderness areas not over-run with people/evidence of industrial civilization and connected, healthy habitat for wildlife. Nature is essential for human sanity
4214	Wilderness values, preservation values, scenic viewsheds, outdoor recreation opportunities
4215	Wildlife
4216	Wildlife and natural areas within the urban area
4217	Wildlife and nature
4218	Wildlife and vegetation are at risk
4219	Wildlife everywhere
4220	Wildlife good, roadrunners are good
4221	Wildlife out my front door
4222	Wildlife- coyotes, javelinas, snakes - not a good thing (lots of pet deaths from wildlife.
4223	Wind turbines could cut into our mountain views
4224	Winter ;)
4225	Winter Weather
4226	Winter climate
4227	Winter place is great
4228	Winter temperature
4229	Winter time
4230	Winter weather
4231	Winters are mild
4232	Winters here are great
4233	With a family it is critical to have free/cheap entertainment, especially if it is educational, so I love that there is so much diverse nature to explore.
4234	With extreme sprawl we will reduce the natural beauty of the environment
4235	With less than a half day's drive one can go from 2,500' (Tucson per se) to almost 13,000' (the San Francisco Peaks) elevation, high desert to pine topped mountains. Thus one can somewhat 'change seasons' at will.
4236	With monsoon rains and just regular rains in general can cause havoc and flooding all around town.
4237	With such beautiful weather in southern Arizona, we have the luxury of being able to spend time outside no matter the time of year. Activities such as hiking, biking, running, golf, etc. Even a stroll at the park is nice in any season.
4238	With the exception of July and August, the climate here is about as good as it gets. And it gives us an opportunity to spend a couple of months in Santa Barbara, a close second as a place to live.
4239	With the exception of a few humid sticky weeks in the summer, our climate is ideal 10-11 months a year. My move and choice to remain in the southwest, though I am far from retirement age, is that this is a pleasant liveable climate.
4240	With the exception of summer - we have gorgeous weather
4241	With the year-round decent weather, one can engage in activities year-round from sporting events to social activities.
4242	Within 15 minutes you can be in the environment, in nature
4243	Within a short 15-30 min. dirve time you can get our of the city and into nature for hiking, biking, etc
4244	Without a nice climate, there is no good reason to live in Tucson. Doing business in this town is full of complicated/contradictory bureaucracy and is expensive. The public schools have become a detrimental environment for our youth. Compensation for the employed has not kept up with the inflation of housing, health care, food, etc.
4245	Without beauty and creativity, we are not human, and Tucson has some of the most creative folks around in visual and performing arts. I participate as much as I can.
4246	Without quality jobs and spendable income, we can never do the things we need to do to make Tucson a beautiful and vibrant community - the 'jewel of the southwest'.
4247	Without the desert and the desert wildlife, the heart will be gone out of Tucson and there will be no reason to remain in a soul-less city. Residents and tourists alike come here for the beauty and the weather. They should not have to go to the Desert Museum to experience 'what Tucson used to be.' (Although, they should always go to the Desert Museum as it is unique and incredible.)
4248	Without the mountains and desert, we're Lubbock
4249	Wonderful desert
4250	Wonderful for the mind, body, and spirit
4251	Wonderful hiking and biking trails. Sabino Canyon, Saguaro Nat'l Monument, Rincon's and Catalina's and Santa Rita's
4252	Wonderful hiking, biking, and aesthetically beautiful area. I'm an outdoor exercise lover.
4253	Wonderful weather
4254	Wonderful weather for outdoor activities, from wine & cheese in the front yard to biking and hiking.
4255	Working in this local economy has always been tough, and with the trends in climate, water, petroleum and food costs we must become very innovative to continue to work and live here. We must work to invest in ourselves, keep our investments in Tucson, and be wise about who we invite to invest in us from the outside. Mining is the wrong long-term model; cultural tourism and center for innovation is right.
4256	Works wonders for mental health
4257	Worry over water resources Like to hike, bike, etc. and want to retain a desert environment in which to do so
4258	Xeroscape landscape
4259	Year around riding is great
4260	Year round ability to grow plants
4261	Year round outdoor activities
4262	Year round outdoor activities and usual good weather

4269	Year-round activities, even when it's 'cold' like hiking, biking
4270	Yes it is hot but we do not endure winter or any other natural disasters. occasional flash flood.
4271	Yes the summer heat gets old in August, but I like the fact that in the winter I can go skiing on Saturday and then work in the yard in short sleaves on Sunday.
4272	Yes, I like the weather.
4273	Yes, the weather...
4274	You are able to connect with nature, it improves the state if mind
4275	You are able to use desert assets in your life
4276	You can be in the mountains in a hour, access to lakes and four hours from the ocean,
4277	You can be outdoors alot. Offers lots of opportunities to do things inexpensively
4278	You can be outside so much and enjoy the beautiful desert.
4279	You can do almost anything you want outside almost year round.
4280	You can do outdoor activities during most of the year
4281	You can drive to someplace, it's comfortable. I can drive to Mt. Lemmon and it's cold, then drive south and its' completely different. I walk outside and I see coyotes
4282	You can enjoy nature, lots to do, hiking, mountains, camping, etc
4283	You can enjoy the outdoors most of the year
4284	You can hike bide or walk almost any day of the year
4285	You can live in the dessert with land around you to experience the desert
4286	You can't enjoy camping, hiking and riding in the surrounding mountains and desert as much if you can't get to them.
4287	You cannot find landscape like this everywhere with the beautiful sunsets, mountains, cacti, desert flowers, and the unique wildlife. Views need to be kept from being obstructed, wildlife protected, and landscape kept natural
4288	You don't have to shovel it
4289	You don't have to shovel sunshine!' I even like the summers.
4290	You know that wherever you are in Tucson is Tucson
4291	You know when you are in Tucson.. It is not ubiquitous." Native plants, vernacular architecture
