You might want to get up to speed on what the "Delphi Technique" is and how it is used against you by developers and corrupt politicians.
You basically are invited to participate in a “Visioning” meeting, where the public is offered an opportunity to “steer” an upcoming community project (developing low-income housing in your beloved open space, for example.) The meeting invites public participation, but it is a manipulative deception, as the magicians force you to "choose their card" meaning they bamboozle you into the outcome that they desire, leaving you possibly confused but not objecting, because this outcome was (in your mind) the “community’s wishes.”
Here is the link to a very good report by James Corbett on the Delphi Technique, and how to defend against it. https://www.corbettreport.com/qfc-delphi/
This podcast shows how the UK is using Delphi Technique to ramrod its citizens into a central bank digital currency.
