Best aspects (respondent's words): This is an opportunity for the community and must be weighed primarily by its potential advantages, rather than in the fear mongering of its potential threats. We are presented with prospects of expanding and growing our community! This is a benefit from busines owners all the way down to individuals just wanting to guard home and prosper peacefully. The fiscal advantages of this proposal are printed in black and white. Statistics should always be more persuasive than personal idealogy; both should be more influential than any baseless suspicions or unfounded unwarranted fear.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): Allowing this building project to be so evenly divided is not a blending of two view points which are than strengthened by becoming the common ground of two different perspectives coming together for one vision. They are a collaboration based on catering to greed and to fear. We should be concerned as a community with ushering in the biggest and most lucrative opportunity; we should no5 spend our efforts in attempting to mitigate or in trying to deny any potential threat. The first perspective is focused on measurable benefits, and it is best ruled by increasing potential and efficiency. The second perspective is focused on only what might go wrong, what could be a problem and that is why it's focus is rightly said to be concerned only with fear. Our decisions here could effect generations to live here after we are gone: I believe authentic leadership must derive from a place of certainty and optimism; not safety measuring and futures based on forecasts of risk-reduction.
