[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 2845221, member: 688"] Great Question. Three areas come to mind: [B]Economics[/B] New job creation and maintenance of existing jobs Profits for business owners [B]Quality of Life[/B] Livable neighborhoods that facilitate a sense of community Good traffic flow [B]Natural Resources[/B] - Protection of enough natural areas to provide: A pleasant viewscape Walking or other outdoor recreational opportunities Protection of plant communities (the CrossTimbers around OKC) to insure that soil is protected from erosion, water soaks in or runs off slowly enough to prevent excess flooding and protect surface and groundwater quality and quantity. What do I think about his definition? It is limited at best. It overlooks many factors that make life better. Many people look only at the superficial attractiveness of homes and neighborhoods and the accessibility and quality of shopping and restaurants. Oklahoma City, being spread out as it is, has some unique opportunities to preserve CrossTimber areas to the benefit of all. Ultimately the home buyer determines what is incorporated into the development of neighborhoods. They must ask for and be willing to pay extra for good features outside the individual lot boundaries.
