You give a little bit here.
(Oh let's keep quite because now we feel like 'insiders').

You give a little bit there.
(Oh, such unparalleled access - don't share our little inside gambit.)

Make them jump through hoops.
(Now we are working hard and spending lots of time so we buy everything said to us -too much has been spent on this to turn back)

Make sure they are isolated
(Let's not listen to someone else's warning - they must have said the wrong thing to the wrong politican and are out of the loop so they are tainted - stay away and ignore their experiences and advice)

Then blandly let the developers loose on you and you stand powerless as they ride roughshod over laws and regulations. A few spot zones here and there and suddenly the 'privlidged' don't feel so confident.

Of course, by then its too late. They either get discouraged or give up the struggle.; Friday, October 12, 2007

and the sanctuary hoods get served
