Resolved: The City of Redlands should adopt the initiative to limit building heights in Redlands to three stories and 40 feet within the Downtown and University Transit Villages and add other provisions to the General Plan.
The Redlands Restorative Pathways Community invites the City of Redlands to utilize the Braver Angels debate format to discuss the initiative to limit building heights in Redlands.
You probably haven’t experienced anything like a Braver Angels Debate. It's not a political debate, where competing candidates attempt to win votes. Nor is it a competitive high school or college debate, where people advocate positions in which they may not believe for the sole purpose of vanquishing their foes.
A Braver Angels Debate is a highly structured conversation in which a group of people think together, listen carefully to one another, and allow themselves to be touched and perhaps changed by each other’s ideas. When done well, everyone walks out a little closer to the truth, more aware of the validity in opposing views, and with tighter community relationships.
