| Plan to accommodate expected population growth but do so in an orderly manner that reduces costs and preserves the natural environment and resources |
| |
| | "We cannot continue to ignore our growth. Plans for roads and infrastructure have to be made if this is where we want to live and work." |
| | "Control growth." |
| | "Work together to accommodate growth in orderly manner." |
| | "Stop the crazy and unplanned growth!" |
| | "Even though we are growing, I'm glad it's at a slower pace than other sunbelt cities. Yet, the growth we have could be managed better than it has been in the past." |
| | "It would be a great day when we have support from Pima County on pro-growth developments." |
| | "The concept of "if we don't build it, they won't come" doesn't work. People will continue to move here and we must plan for them." |
| | "Tucson needs growth controls." |
| | "Growth is a self-fulfilling prophecy, if we plan for it." |
| | "Our city has no strategic plan to deal with future growth. Our city has always been reactionary in addressing problems rather than strategic. It always costs more to retro-fit roads, water, sewer etc. because past and current leadership never planned for our region to reach 1 million people." |
| | "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." |
| | "Protect the Sonoran desert through thoughtful building." |
| | "Fragility of the natural environment should motivate us to plan better." |
| | "Development is subsidized by taxpayers. Local government has done some things to make development pay for itself, but it needs to do a lot better. The cost of expanding and enlarging infrastructure, including roads and schools, should be borne by developers and the people who choose to live in the suburbs." |
| | "More decisions in metro area like Tucson Water footprint � conscious decision of where to grow and not grow." |
| | "Water and energy will drop our growth if we don't plan in a different way." |
