I agree with David. We need progressive people in local government representing the interests of the folks that are moving here in droves-as well as those of us that have grown up here and made the conscious decision to stay and participate in Chattanooga's growth. We are on the cusp of big social shifts and cultural change, and I think it's possible for Chattanooga to become more sustainable without losing the rich history that makes this city what it is. We can achieve a well-rounded and better version of our current city, one that embraces environmental, economic and social sustainability. Good planning and vibrant energy have gotten us so far; it would be great to see the positive momentum we've gathered continue to push this city forward.
