“…The neighborhoods in which they are sited are predominantly residential; however, the areas around some facilities are highly commercialized, although many neighborhoods have significant proportions of vacant lots. Other studies have suggested that this is a manifestation of a deliberate policy to site facilities in transient areas, or where rezoning is not required, so as to minimize community opposition to the facilities (Dear, 1974;Holton, Kramer, & New, 1973 Directory, 1972Directory, -1973, and the List of Sales and Mortgages. The former catalogues all properties in the city, together with their assessed valuation, as well as their zoning classification.…”

Community opposition to the establishment of a small-scale mental health facility is often intense. One frequently voiced fear is that the estabishment of a facility will cause property values in its vicinity to decline. This paper examines empirical evidence of the impact on property values in the neighborhood of 12 mental health centers in Philadelphia. It is concluded that such facilities have an indeterminate effect on property values in their vicinity, contary to popular opinion.

“…Similarly, a location decision may be perceived as being reasonable but not rational when it is believed that rational as well as nonrational considerations are legitimate grounds for a location decision. After all, such decisions are almost inherently non-rational (Holton, Kramer & New, 1973).…”

“…Further, the availability of suitable property was substantially reduced by the list of criteria that were set in advance. The application of a number of these criteria, such as the availability of financial means, can be considered as being essentially political (see also Holton et al, 1973;Dear, 1974, p. 48;Rose, 1993, p. 99).…”

“…The approach resonates one of the core aspects of consensus democracy, namely the depoliticisation of issues (Lijphart, 1968). In their explanations and justifications of their location decisions, political-executives downplayed the political and non-rational nature of location decisions (see also Holton et al, 1973;Dear, 1974, p. 48;Rose, 1993, p. 99). This neutralised the potential for political dispute concerning the location decisions to the extent that neighbourhood residents believed that technical and situational justifications provided reasonable explanations for the location decisions.…”

“…One of the main prerequisites for regaining authority through the rendering of account is that political-executives recognise that location decisions are essentially political (Holton et al, 1973;Dear, 1974;Karsten, 2010), and that, therefore, locational conflict about human service facility siting is inherently political as well (see also Terpstra, 2002). Moreover, the relationship between political-executives and neighbourhood residents is essentially political.…”

Decide and Defend Regaining authority for controversial decisions through rendering accountProefschrift ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan Tilburg University op gezag van de rector magnificus, prof. dr. Ph. Eijlander, in het openbaar te verdedigen ten overstaan van een door het college voor promoties aangewezen commissie in de aula van and suddenly you are doing the impossible." Most of the mayors and aldermen discussed in this thesis have done just that. They have managed to establish necessary, but highly controversial facilities for the homeless and have regained authority for their location decisions through explaining and justifying why they made these particular decisions. They have effectively shown directive leadership in a context that is particularly ill-disposed towards such a leadership style. Considering the controversiality of human service facility location decisions and the general mistrust of directive leadership, political-executives' ability to regain authority was unexpected. And indeed, not all succeeded in doing so to the same extent. The aim of this thesis was to gain understanding of how making controversial decisions affects executives' authority, more specifically, whether and how the rendering of account influences mayors and aldermen's authority. My attempt to answer that question has been an unforgettable experience, a true journey of discovery in the realm of locational conflict.Back in 2008, the project started out as a predominantly theoretical enterprise that focused on the relationship between the call for stronger leadership and the call for responsiveness. If it had not been for my supervisor, prof. Frank Hendriks, this thesis would have contained a multitude of intricate conceptual explorations of 'leadership', 'accountability', 'authority', 'political support', and the like. What I will remember most of Frank's supervision is the 'tja…' he occasionally wrote in the margins of sections of my work that I mistakenly thought of as original, though-provoking, and relevant pieces. I have taken 'tja…' to be the Frankian euphemism for 'I cannot say it is wrong', or even 'well thought out, well-written, but utterly irrelevant'. My sincere thanks, Frank, for reminding me to "really say something about really something", as you like to phrase it. A second word of thanks goes out to my co-supervisor, dr. LinzeSchaap, who has also played his part in 'keeping things real' by encouraging me to go out into the field, and at the same time keeping me sharp on non-subst...
