| Find a negotiated middle ground among competing views on growth |
| |
| | "For years there has been a strong no growth attitude and development structure that created a reputation that chases away clean, higher paying industry and business. This needs to be re-balanced." |
| | "Growth is critical to the long term sustainability of our area. Our current city and county leadership is largely anti-growth." |
| | "Change hostility towards city growth" |
| | "Tucson feels like a real town. It's not a place where growth is out of control and you see the same stores and eateries around every corner. It feels real." |
| | "You grow or you die! Make all the entities in Pima county more receptive to business and development. Establish necessary controls but eliminate the abuse of these controls. . . As a business man, I am constantly being dinged or harassed by some rule or official that has nothing better to do." |
| | "It would be a great day when we have support from Pima County on pro growth developments." |
| | "Accept reality that water is going to be a limiting resource to growth." |
| | "There are many vacant, abandoned properties and buildings that should to be occupied or repurposed rather than fostering future indiscriminate growth." |
| | "I would like to see . . . zoning changed to encourage higher mixed-use density." |
| | "Bigger is not better . . . No more expansion into the desert, no more subsidies for developers. Change the focus to sustainability, and if the community shrinks ... good." |
| | "I hope that planners will remember and honor our rural heritage in mindfully planning for the inevitable post-recession growth of our region." |
| | "Promote greater density within the built region and stop destroying the desert." |
| | "Tucson has been sprawling for decades. Its lack of long range planning has given birth to competitive outlying communities that are upstaging and undermining Tucson's infrastructure needs. Oro Valley will soon become the cultural destination because of its tight planning and growth controls. Marana will suck the area dry of water with its lack of restricted growth." |
| | "Should be people over land choices - not land over people choices." |
