Edward Law Olmstead once called Atlanta the "City Among the Trees". Maintaining our identity as a beautiful, clean, and tree lined city of neighborhoods is important to preserving Atlanta's charm and magnetism.

I support Neighborhood friendly development that will enhance all portions of our city. Both the North and the South sections of our city have much to offer to keep our city vibrant and healthy.

I would support development that considers our environmental concerns and promotes sustainability; such as walkable communities and neighborhood commercial districts. I also vigorously support our need for affordable housing for low and moderate income families and first-time home buyers, and currently spearheading a measure defining the City's affordable housing standard.
