Downtown-I know Downtown wasn't affected by the twister but I personally am fascinated by the tall and picturesque buildings that make up the skyline of Cities like New York,Tokyo,and Toronto.I personally think adding more taller and modern-looking buildings in the Downtown area would make T-Town's Skyline look more Modern and bigger. (Bigger cities have higher populations for a reason)Plus how about at least 1 Condominium Complex near the heart of downtown.Bring more attention to downtown.

15th Street and surrounding areas- Tuscaloosa needs more entertainment. How about a Dog Park? An arcade? Aquarium? An Ice Rink? A City Zoo? Places for mini-golf,a skateboard park? Anything we DON'T have. 15th Street should be the "Main Street" of Tuscaloosa. Full of LIFE. Entertainment,shopping,restaurants,HOTELS,Fruit Stands,Bus Stops (or a light rail system),delis,cake shops,pharmacies,Bars,GYMS,a club,maybe a fish market,Barbershops,salons,the WORKS!This brings business and Revenue. Pedestrian and Bike-friendly Sidewalks alined with beautiful Trees and flowers.A unique look when it comes to light poles,stop signs and the such.Also more trashcans to help discourage littering. Making the city look good. All while being as environmentally friendly as possible.

Neighborhoods- Build mixed-income neighborhoods with affordable housing for all residents.Not just condos or apartments for students.That way we can avoid categorizing by calling a certain area "That rich neighborhood" or "that poor neighborhood" in the future. Use imagination and creativity.Put Garden Homes next to Town Houses? Or Mansions next to mobile homes? haha.Think long-term. Have playgrounds put in the middle of the area?

Economy: Think "Sustainability".Support the growth of Small Business. Discourage Economic Despotism. Stay away from greedy Fat Cats and the such. Also support Family-owned businesses. Think of an economy "by the people,for the people". DO NOT do anything that will put us in debt (video).
