Wait a few years to speak up and it will be too late. Experts tell us that in the next 20 years the potential for growth in the alley could be so explosive as to alter the very character of Salt hake. The growth will be hard to take for a lot of people.

On paper, the planning and zon- ing process represents the American democratic system well. Both sides get an equal opportunity to voice their opinions and then the commission makes its decision based on the facts presented. But, in reality, it doesnt work that way. Developers have a distinct advantage in the process, but not so much because they have chums sitting on the board. Their advantage rests in knowing what the commission wants to hear and knowing how to say And youll nearly always lose the big ones unless youre organized and have support. Where planning matters are concerned, there it. definitely is strength in numbers. Organization and numerical strength are important because the human element figures significantly in the decision process.

Frequently, lawyers are used to make the presentations. They can talk well and generally know the legal requirements. But attorneys are not as effective as businessmen, because they have a tendency to talk too much. Instead of giving a plain Yes to Do you have a question like enough money to build it, a lawyer would respond: Under the circumstances which are involved, and based on the financial consultation of a respected firm in Zurich, which...

To have spokesmen acquainted with how the system works to present their views to planners in the most effective manner. Community councils can do this. In just the past few years, planners have begun to consult councils on vital issues. But too few councils exist and their membership is too limited to have much of an impact. If people want to have a say in the future, they will have to build the influence of these councils through the power derived from numbers. If they dont, their voices will not be heard. And they will have no one to blame but themselves. A failure to act is likely only to give credence to the old cliche: He Few people know what R-mean. They do know, howor ever, that they dont want anybody building apartments, or condominiums, or a shopping center next to their home. But when you dont appear before a government-relatebody on a regular basis, that one time when you do can be frightening. And you dont know what to say.
