1. For the first time in 30 years, Tulsa will be creating a new Comprehensive Plan. What do you think are the key issues that need to be addressed in the Comp Plan?

The Comp Plan should address in-fill development, transportation, and River development. To revitalize blighted areas, such as East Village and the 6th Street Corridor, the Comp Plan and zoning code should create the regulatory environment to make high-density, mixed-use in-fill development profitable. The auto parking requirements for commercial uses in the zoning code should be repealed. Allow the market to make its own decisions. See Donald Shoup’s The High Cost of Free Parking.

The transportation plan should serve to move people, not vehicles. River development should be environmentally sensitive and sustainable. Intensive commercial development should be reserved for Downtown. Put the concrete where it belongs. Develop the River like New York City's Central Park.

2. What kind of downtown do you envision for Tulsa? What kind of downtown do you think we need in order to compete effectively with other cities?

Only Americans drive their SUV's to go to spinning classes. Thousands pay the $35 entry fee every year just to walk and run through Mid-Town neighborhoods and Brookside as part of the Tulsa Run. The retail industry developed the shopping mall, because the automobile blighted the public space. The Tulsa downtown that competes effectively with other cities would be highly-dense, walkable, and full of transit choices.

3. What steps can Tulsa take to stop the sales tax drain from the city to suburban municipalities?

Use the City's regulatory powers to make Downtown the weekly, must-see destination for suburban residents. Keep Austin Weird is still going strong. Make Tulsa WEIRD has some catching up.

To attract the sales tax, the killer app is Downtown with highly-dense, mixed-use in-fill developments, abound with an eclectic venue of retail establishments and transit choices, such as private jitneys and pedicabs. The City should probably loosen up on 37 TRO 1205, the anti-dancing in the streets ordinance.

4. 30% of Tulsans don’t drive (the young, the elderly, the disabled, those who can’t afford a car, and those who prefer to walk or bike). What can we, as a city, do to make Tulsa more walkable? What role should mass transit play in Tulsa’s future?

If government owned the auto industry, like it controls transit, the car of choice would be the Yugo, painted in one color, puke gray. The engine would start only on Sundays, after church.

As long as Tulsa Transit and the government-owned transit industry have no profit motive to deliver travel solutions based on market demand, the single-occupant motor vehicle will continue its blight on our public space. Even bus drivers don't even ride the bus for their own transportation needs.

The killer app for a more walkable, bikable, highly-dense, transit-oriented Tulsa? Transit DE-regulation. Worked great for the airlines. Divest Tulsa Transit to the private sector.

5. The current city council passed a resolution requiring police officers to check the immigration status of “all suspected illegal aliens.” Do you support or oppose this resolution and why?

Santa is a “suspected illegal alien.” The police should check his citizenship status too. Santa is lazy. He works only one day a year. He drinks way too much. The healthcare system is bankrupt because of his sloth. The FAT man should be deported and banned from EVER entering the country again. He’s the main culprit behind the massive increase in credit card defaults after every Christmas.

6. What should the City of Tulsa do to help support historic preservation efforts, both in neighborhood and downtown? Do you think “old” buildings are important to our future? Why/why not?

I am the 473th signatory on the Preserve Midtown Tulsa Neighborhoods Petition. Zone highly-dense, mixed-used developments for Downtown, NOT in the middle of some of Tulsa’s most historic neighborhoods. Tearing down Tulsa’s rich history to build McMansions just doesn’t make sense. I am fully supportive of the lot-split moratorium until the Conservation District ordinance pass. If elected, I intend to bring up the issue whenever the opportunity arises.

7. If an anonymous donor wanted to give each council district $5 million to be spent in any way, how would you spend it?

Replace all traffic signals on the major arterials with roundabouts. Re-engineer all major arterials and neighborhood streets using traffic calming devices to enforce 25 mph speed limit within 2,000 feet of schools, parks, and wherever kids gather. Use police bike patrol escorts to get kids to bike and walk to school. Build pedestrian-oriented bridges that accommodate retail space between the two banks. I call on the George Kaiser Family Foundation to build an aerial tramway soaring over the middle of the River, between 11th and 71st Streets.
