I met with a local council woman today about some street lights. We've got two options, so she's like why are you guys so determined to go with Option A - is it cause it's cheaper? I was just like yeah, they are cheaper, quite a bit cheaper actually. She was like hmmm hmm you should really consider pedestrian safety as well.

I'd totally missed the cue to actually sell the idea to her about why we're going with that solution, mainly that there's less light spill and they're lower maintenance so you'll have fewer complaints.

So the conversation went awkward cause now I just look like a greedy developer who just wants the cheapest solution without regard for safety. I went hard with the damage control after that but I don't know if it worked. If she tells the rest of the council that we're only pushing this idea cause it's cheaper (which we are not) then we're screwwwwed

Ugh kill me
