I attended a community forum related to a school rezoning issue. At this event, there were no facilitators, there was little framework for consensus and the presenters - the planning department - had strong affinity for the options that they have constructed.And yet, to me, the interesting thing is that the way the content is provided, the way the conversation approached, it seemed as if the part of the process was geared to pit group against group, school against school and neighborhood against neighborhood. Solutions almost needed to have a clear winner and clear loser as the process was both set up and executed...
There should be a better way.
