How did Kai do it? What was his platform? Of note, Kai is passionate about several real estate related issues, such as Smarth Growth, and Downtown Revitalization. Kai on Smart Growth... Harrisonburg is changing quickly, and Ibelieve we need to be proactive in making sure we preserve our openspace, control traffic, and build smartly. We should use the principlesof smart growth, "an urban planning and transportation theory that concentrates growth in the center of a city to avoid urban sprawl; and advocates compact, transit-oriented, walkable, bicycle-friendly land use, including neighborhood schools, streets that work for everyone, mixed-use development with a range of housing choices."
