Thinking About Growth |

Process |
|
Different people tend to pursue different strategies for advancing their interests. To some degree, these strategic choices reflect tactical concerns. It makes sense to use those processes which are most likely to advance your interests. There is also a tendency of people to employ only those processes with which they are familiar (even when there are better alternatives). This last part of the questionnaire asks you to assess the degree to which you feel inclined to use alternative procedural approaches. Please indicate your preferred approach(es). |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Administrative Appeals - I feel that the best way to address growth management problems is by directly asking government officials and developers to make appropriate plans and decisions. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Litigation - The most effective mechanism for protecting my interests is litigation in the civil courts. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Political Action - Lobbying and participation in the electoral process offers the best route to meaningful policy change. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Public Demonstrations - I do not expect the political or legal system to acceptably respond to my concerns. The only alternative is public demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Negotiation/Consensus – The best way to address growth problems is through the negotiation of win-win compromises between key stakeholder groups. |
| Hi 1 2 3 4 5 Lo | Economic Transactions – The growth management decisions that really matter are made in the marketplace. Sensible ideas will “sell,” while stupid ideas will fail economically. |
