gathering materials on messaging and advocacy strategy for YIMBY and housing issues.
== <br/> The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative ==
from Saul Alinsky, ''Rules for Radicals'', 1972:
<blockquote>''"The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. You cannot risk being trapped by the enemy in his sudden agreement with your demand and saying "You're right—we don't know what to do about this issue. Now you tell us."''</blockquote>
In a sense this is the strategy most important to YIMBYwiki, as we are interested above all in facilitating constructive action and the search for alternative possibilities. <br/>
