Readers are Saying...
“Yes Vote outlines a system that works to engage the community in the public review process. I have worked with Katie Coates, and her methods help developers obtain the approvals they seek. I highly recommend this book.”
– Bhavesh Parikh, Development Director, Hines
“This book is an amazing review of the psychology of the groups that make decisions affecting developers’ ability to realize their dreams. Developers shape our communities and their plans are often limited or stopped by surprisingly simple-minded groups or individuals. Ms. Coates uses a sharp razor to help developers cut through the bureaucratic process with a clear strategic approach that shows her deep understanding of the psychology of this process. I am not surprised to see that she gets the yes vote for 90 percent of her clients.”
