It's mostly about improvements to transportation and access to amenities and medical services that encourage healthy living, but it also talks about the city's renaissance. Good to see that even Republicans in a very red state can recognize the importance of urban design on health and be willing to work collectively to do something about it.

Can we get MoveTUS now?
