    So when Ed says (and I am paraphrasing here) that Mick doesn't care about the neighborhoods, all he cares about is downtown, how does he explain the 2007 GO bond (streets, sidewalks, bridges, parks, police, fire and library projects for everywhere but downtown), the MAPS 3 portions that include sidewalks, running/biking trails and wellness centers and all the jobs that have been created due to the increase in the quality of life, not just downtown, but everywhere?

    The Shadid campaign appears to be kind of inept. They kind of knocked it out of the park with their announcement, but I think they announced too early because since then, they really haven't done a very good job maintaining the momentum they created with that one event. Then there are these little moments displaying the ineptitude of the campaign, e.g., Shadid commenting on things on NewsOK, the above photo which will not play well with values voters, etc. Ed has kind of crapped on what got him where he's at--the local neighborhood activists and instead is now a pawn of the Not-this-MAPS folks who are still hurting from the thumping they received in that campaign.

    Whoever runs his twitter (Andrew Speno is Steve is correct) just does nothing but posts links to articles about popular urban and neighborhood topics. Absolutely zero about how Ed plans to implement those ideas or thoughts, or what kind of track record he has in those areas. Pretty empty IMO

    Even krisb has seemed to disappear....? after Ed's rookie power play on the street car vote.

    He's proven he would not be a good mayor so far, and I'm really concerned that he's created so much friction that he's no longer effective on the council.

    Here's a guide: if it's urban planning, transit or urban core, it's probably Ed. If the tweet shows a big interest in sports, television or is overtly and crassly sarcastic... well, even those on this board who most dislike Ed can probably explain that one for you. FYI: many candidates employ people to help them on social media.

    No doubt, I'm more than familiar with how that world works. Thanks for chiming in.

    Limited. There are still a couple of people on this board for whom I have no respect, who have continuously stooped to personal attacks, and because of them I'll only post these kinds of posts. I greatly respect Pete, folks like you Mayo.

    No. A single-use residential pod is not a neighborhood. Not being an OKC resident I don't post in this thread often, I just want the terminology the politicians are using to be correct - especially when both candidates are pushing traditional neighborhood development as part of their agenda.

    It's Mick Cornett though, shouldn't it say "Downtown" only steering committee or the screw neighborhoods committee? I can't believe anyone that lives in a "neighborhood" would want to support a mayor that doesn't give a crap about "neighborhoods."

    LOL - As you know, I march to my own drum and sometimes I march alone, and that's OK.

    You can have your fancy urbanist semantics and it's definitions, and I'll stick with logic and common sense. I bet no one cares but yourself.

    So a concrete jungle counts as neighborhood? Hey, sorry about that, it kind of rude to call your neighborhood a concrete jungle as it is rude to say I don't live in a neighborhood. I live in a great neighborhood here in Asheforde Oaks, just as much as Sid lives in a great neighborhood in Deep Deuce. JTF, you're wrong.
