The MCA as an organization is by no means a "no-growth"-seeking organization. We seek to bring open public discussion and planning -- long range planning especially -- back into the process. We seek to incorporate into our City better pedestrian and bicycle corridors, sidewalks, mixed uses and cluster developments that use forward thinking combinations of higher densities, and more shared, open space. We seek sustainable community development, not stagnation. Smart Growth we advocate, not "no growth." http://www.idahosmartgrowth.org/.
Several years ago the MCA Board took a position favoring growth. We accepted the Smart Growth model, and rejected a no growth alternative. That position has not changed.
