<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tom,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Smart growth - not the buzz-word "smart growth" -
to me implies intelligent design, taking care of needs, planning for the future,
evolutionary development, being sustainable, conservation of resources thru
efficient use, all those "good" things that naturally come with common
sense.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bringing Target and Home Depot can be part of smart
growth, it can also be part of poor planning & design. It's more in
the "how" than the "what". Anything - a nuclear reactor or a 3000
unit development - could be part of smart growth, if implemented properly.
Which could include proper (or appropriate) location, technology, scheduling,
sequensing ... planning the "how" to assure the fit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Knowing what you are doing. Not just the
immediate doing, but the long-term result - the repurcussions of what you are
doing (immediately.) Intent vs actual result. Not letting
technological capabilities, economic returns or short-term results cloud
common sense.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am throwing this out for discussion because I would like to understand
more about the principles of "smart growth". I have heard it referred to
a lot during this campaign season and I still do not quite understand
it. My fellow co-workers had a discussion about it over lunch and we
came to no real conclusion. One thing that was mentioned over lunch was
a statement one of them had seen on "Facebook" in a group that is called "Peg
4 Mayor." The statement reads, "She supports smart growth (bringing in
Target and Home Depot) to our city." Apparently, the statement was made
by one of the campus campaign managers. Therefore, if it is negative, it
may not be fair to attribute it to Peg. I am not putting it out here
because I think it is negative. Maybe it is a perfectly reasonable
statement. I am just hoping that some of you smart people can help me
and my co-workers understand smart growth. One question we did have! is
that we were not sure what bringing in a Target or Home Depot has to do with
smart growth. Perhaps it fits into some economical principle? I
would like to add that any replies should not slam one candidate or
another. The goal in this discussion should be to explain what
"smart growth" is. Thanks -Tom </DIV>
