- 254. Dis-Respect and Dis-EmpowermentPublic sector views:“Over my dead body will we do another scheme… it brings out the worst aspects of human nature…total preoccupation with what they want!”“Self-build is just so small ... It’s not worth enough to spend time on it.” “What are the barriers to Self-build? Oh dear, probably …class, culture, access to land,…systems which disable and discourage self help?”Hill, Mason and Whittenham “TheFuture of Community Self-Build” JRF 2000
- 255. Entrenched self interestsPrivate sector view:“Housebuilders say that self-build would be unfair competition. They need a certain volume of building and overhead to continue to offer good value and a cost effective product.

- 279. Being a professional“It is no longer possible for us to masquerade as disinterested, or objective professionals, applying our techniques with equal ease to those clients we agree with, as well as to those we disagree with. We are, in effect, the client for all our projects, for it is our own society we are affecting through our actions.” (1972)
- 280. Citizen Professionals“By raising the possibilities of a humane way of producing places to live, by phasing out the elitist nature of environmental professionalism, we can move toward a time when we will no longer define ourselves by our profession, but by our freedom as people.”Robert Goodman “After the Planners” 1972
