In almost all city governments in America, the small group of people who don't want change are able to block change.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.
Governments don't control people like they used to.
Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist.
Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.
People sometimes have a very hard time accepting change.
People can change the volume, the location and the composition of their income, and they can do so in response to changes in government policies.
I'm one who demands a lot from people. I'm not afraid to look at alternative ways in city government. That's what I've done in my two years and will continue to do in the next four.
It's hard to make something as large as a government change. It's a little bit like building the transcontinental railroad.
One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others.
If a huge number of people call for change, the government will have to react. If you want to avoid uprisings, or demonstrations, you need to respond to the people's desperate need for change.
