Negotiation Backlash

______
Thoughts on Zoning Protest Petition

I find the statement by Marlene Sanford, president of the Triad Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition who acts as TREBIC Representative to Greensboro City Council insincere.

According to the New-Record Feb. 14, Ms Sanford said: “The City Council asked us to work on a compromise,” . . . .“TREBIC came to the table to negotiate in good faith.”

When has TREBIC negotiated a real COMPROMISE in good faith?

Negotiation is defined as "try to reach an agreement or compromise by discussion with others."
Compromise is defined as "an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions."

Is TREBIC getting a taste of it's own brand of negotiating?

I find that most, if not always, the development industry in Greensboro only talks to those adversely affected by their policies to convince them that TREBIC is always right and negotiations are usually based on making minor changes to some development plans and do very little to change their "real plans."

Highly paid lawyers hired by developers with very little respect for good development and who are not people friendly, make a show of trying to work with residents adversely affected by their plans.

TREBIC, maybe the joke's on you this time.

could not have said it better myself, it is time for TREBIC CARTEL to go away for a very long time, it was great to expose the fraud of TREBIC with bringing back protest petitions to greensboro and you can also add the Greensboro City Council because they were the one who brought up all this compromise crap , and as you can see the state legislators were not fooled.
