I agree with Frizzell and Corey our city needs to prioritize infrastructure, I especially like Corey's interest in making the city more accessible to people.  The most desirable communities accommodate people not traffic, while moving cars is essential to commerce, people are the reason commerce exists. 

Lynnwood must do a better job of encouraging mixed use development, a primary component of a desirable community, and new housing downtown is a good step. Corey's interest in affordable housing is a double edged sword best carefully examined along with the minimum wage issue as evidenced by the recent University of Washington study on Seattle's forced wage increase.

Mr. Deals only idea of merit is better internet, residents and business could benefit from an improved digital infrastructure, but I don't think it should be government funded. Van's main concern about taxes and budgeting if valid is important as improper spending and unchecked taxation are harmful.
