Why We Chose It
The whole list is worth running -- gambling, parking, bees, Norway, the Capitol completion date, Velva's flowers, oil exploration. But of most note, that we understood clearly that the only equitable way to manage parking was to make people pay for it. Not many years later, we would go the other direction completely -- we would socialize it. And the results for North Dakota's downtown districts would be consequential and echo out even until now.
