It shouldn't be hard to agree about what Santa Fe needs in a welcoming Plaza. That part is easy.

"The Plaza should be beautiful, inviting and a place where people enjoy gathering. History is important, of course. Any changes should be in keeping with the nature and history of Santa Fe. Santa Fe's Plaza must feel like Santa Fe. [But] before moving ahead with revitalizing the Plaza, Santafesinos need to talk."
