I agree completely. Part of his 'epiphany' was devising (recognizing an opportunity) a way to get through to people. He used the angle of getting OKC off the most obese cities lists. His way of implementing it won over residents and businesses psychologically.

Here we have people absolutely terrified of any new interference to their driving. The usual trolls show up on all the newspaper and blog comments with the usual unintelligent and tired excuses and fears.

I agree completely that a Mayor is not getting into office on a campaign of slowing down drivers and making the city harder to drive through. We have not yet had a leader that galvanized everyone to something we can all agree upon. To make the changes we want to see, not the goal in themselves, but variables that are adjusted on our way to a bigger goal that we're all rooting for.

PS: The TiCats stadium and the 2015 Games was such an opportunity for our city. Our leaders blew it and we literally missed a transformational opportunity of a lifetime.
