Sidewalk rule under study for future subdivisions Tucson plans public hearing
Tucson officials weigh requiring sidewalks in all rezonings and subdivisions. Citizens Advisory Planning Committee held a brief hearing at City Hall as planners, attorneys, and staff prepare a policy reflecting the city’s unofficial rule since January. The panel will vote July 2, with City Council to follow September 22. The proposal, seen as a cost about 3 per running foot for four foot sidewalks, would add roughly 1 to 1.5 percent or 250 to 300 dollars to a 25 000 to 30 000 dollar home.

Fogel argued at a Tucson press conference that slavery was economically efficient and that enslaved people worked harder and were more productive than free laborers. He cited data from ship manifests and census records and noted about 70 percent of slave males held skilled or managerial roles. He insisted the findings challenge common myths while acknowledging slavery’s moral wrongness.
