Opening authentic space (yikes!)
My college buddy Al was telling the story last night of a community meeting he had in one of his development district neighborhoods. They were presenting a whole project of new middle and upper income housing right in a neighborhood of poverty and low income folks that would significantly increase the neighborhood’s density and population.
The presentation complete, Q&A opened with total silence, until someone from the back raised their hand and tendered a question: What will they think of us?

What an incredibly poignant inquiry. What conversation ensued?

I have to get more details but it ended up with the community supporting the development. Authentic conversations live
