Forgotten No. 5

Fred Smith recently laid out an excellent list of core public responsibilities that Memphis should focus on:

1. Public safety
   
   
2. Education
   
   
3. Efficiency
   
   
4. Economic Development

I got one more:

5. Physical Form -- the built, cultivated and natural form of Memphis.

Beyond the effect it has on Mr. Smith's 4 areas (for instance, sprawl's effect on safety and efficiency, blight and banality's effect on safety and development), I simply believe our streets should radiate Memphis' humble greatness.
