I have to respectfully disagree with your assertion. Any given individuals perception is their reality. No one can state something as reality without it being skewed by their perception. So I guess you can say my reality is that perception is reality.

You make a critical mistake in your analysis, perhaps you know and just phrased it poorly. Reality is not subject to perception - nor is it influenced by perception - Reality is Reality. Certainly experience and knowledge color how one perceives a given reality. Take the question of whether the redevelopment is a success or not. The less one knows about it the more positive the opinion based upon cursory observations. Sensory inputs tip the scale. The more one knows about it the more negative the opinion based upon the facts and figures involved. Critical analysis tips the scale. Its not unreasonable for someone to visit, have a good time, do some research and conclude that things are seriously amiss.
