What's one thing you'd improve about your city that you think would make the most positive changes? If you already think your city is great, what could take it to the next level? If you think your city is not so great, what could be done to bring it up to par? Let's try to keep this constructive .
Charlotte, NC - Diversity, Diversity, Diversity.....on the levels of places like Dallas/Phoenix/DC. Not enough activities for the "single person".Very much a married town....Also a very conservative town..would love to see a bit more liberalism in the city....Shall I go on?

Not to nitpick, but Phoenix isn't a very diverse city at all.
As for my own city, the biggest problem in Milwaukee is our crappy public transportation system and our lack of a regional transit authority.
No, no it isn't. Charlotte is 68.9% white vs. 79.9% white in Phoenix.
