Arizona

Republican Pollster Calls Smart Growth a ''Balance Between Development and Nature''

''Arizonans like their state and they appreciate the beauty,'' said nationally known Republican pollster Frank Luntz. ''They don't want to lose it, but they also expect to have the conveniences of 21st Century America, so the smart growth issue is a balance between development and nature.''

A guest presenter at a meeting of the state chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP), reports Business Journal of Phoenix writer Mike Padgett, the pollster complimented Arizonans for the friendliness and candidness he always found during his many research visits in recent years.

''Because the Phoenix area is growing rapidly,'' he observed, ''people are moving in, making it a very good test market for determining how people think in other communities.'' -- Business Journal of Phoenix   6/13/2005
