| Reduce sprawl and focus development on core population centers |
| |
| | "I am concerned that Tucson keeps spreading out as people always want to live on the fringes of town." |
| | "Don't bulldoze my desert and put stucco boxes on it" |
| | "These far flung communities create longer commutes for residents, and present air quality problems and traffic jams among other things." |
| | "Sprawl is spreading city services too thin." |
| | "I don't want Tucson to become a generic big city, but more than that, I don't want us to just languish at the expense of sensible progress" |
| | "The low-density development and sprawl wastes resources and threatens the natural beauty of our surroundings." |
| | "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." |
| | "The myth of limitless land in western cities is done." |
| | "We still think in terms of single-family detached residences (The American Dream). Different times now." |
| | "With sprawl, you lose the sense of place and the unique identify of the Tucson region. You also destroy the resources that make this area so desirable and attractive." |
| | "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." |
| | "Slow sprawl and focus development on the urban core." |
