In this 10 part series, Slevin shares his strategies, tactics, and best practices to help developers and land-use professionals pre-empt and defeat NIMBY opposition regardless of development industry.

NIMBY: THE DEVIL YOU KNOW

In today’s Digital Age, land-use development executives, project managers, and consultants continue to rely upon a fly under the radar approach hoping to avoid community opposition. This decades old “devil you know” mindset is dangerous, exposing real estate projects to greater financial risks, political backlashes, and costly defeats caused by NIMBY - the very threat it was meant to avoid.

NIMBY TOP SECRET REVEALED

The secret to Never Lose to NIMBY Opposition Again is understanding the revelation that conflict sustains NIMBY crisis threatening your projects. When there’s no controversy, then the public isn’t as hyped against change, and emotions and fear have a chance of being superseded by logic and facts.

WHY DO COMMUNITIES OPPOSE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT?

Community opposition is political, emotional and chaotic. Emotionally charged attacks overwhelm the facts, as well as undermine the merits of your project. It’s no mystery that in politics, emotions are more persuasive than facts.
