A certain founding councilman is at it again, this time proclaiming that what is sorely lacking at city hall is the will to act, to re-imagine and re-create Dunwoody as a sustainable center of innovation. As he has been, he is absolutely correct, but there is much more missing at city hall than mere willpower.
Dunwoody has no vision because they have no visionaries. The founding councilman points out that we do not, we should not, invite outside consultants to create a vision for us. Correct again. But if not these outsiders, then who? None of the unelected bureaucrats have any vision that is not handed to them by these consultants, or by folks waving grant money under their noses, or developers who have them on speed dial. Either way, vision is that of outsiders. The elected cheerleaders are no better as the only vision they have is what the unelected serve up.
The other thing in desperately short supply at city hall is creativity and original thinking. This has been the case since day one. Whether a motto, logos or an artist's IPR city hall has been a den of plagiarists and thieves. The irony of the original motto/logo being on a recycle bin should be of no surprise to anyone.

Without creativity, without originality, without thinking, there will be no innovation, no matter how strong the will. This city is a bunch of children trying to spell "G-O-D" with all the wrong blocks.
