Chris WebsterHostWelcome to CRM Podcast, episode 338.
Yes, for now.
What's up, everyone?
Today, we are going to talk about the subject at hand and will be at hand for the next at least few months or probably after, I would say.
And that is Section 106.
And we did talk about this in our last episode.
So this is Episode 2.
And today we're going to talk about Coalitions, people creating coalitions, people sending letters out in order to get people to sign coalition letters, open letters to the ACHP and all those types of efforts.
So and I think, you know, we touched on this last time, last episode, and that was, you Should we go about this where it's just like burn everything down, right? And just go after the juggler, which to me, I know that's a bit of hyperbole there, exaggeration.

And I disagree, which I mentioned in the last episode, that I really do not think that when you're trying to make progress with situations like this, especially when people and entities that have more control than you do at that time, and you're trying to speak to them and reason with them, I don't think that a good move is to put your hand out and shake with one and have a gun in the other.
And I do believe that is what's going on right now.
People are being very like they're not sticking with the facts or being very emotional.
And I understand people are concerned about many different things.
A lot of people are concerned about their jobs.
And I think people are actually more concerned about their jobs even more than they are about the historic preservation, because I don't think that is all that clear.
I think there's a lot of hyperbole out there as to what is going to be the impacts on historic preservation.
I really think that people are more concerned with the security of their jobs, which is I don't blame them.
You know, that's your livelihood.
That definitely can conjure up emotional responses for sure.
