I'm glad now I didn't go, and I live in this cluster. I'm pretty disgusted by some of the parents.  I would've been seriously annoyed at the constant disruptions when all I would've wanted is to listen and get some information.  This was an informational night, and some of the parents turned it into a mob.

[b]Wow, I'm surprised at uber liberal MoCo residents. I guess they are NIMBYs after all[/b].[/quote]

Uber liberal does not mean that you burn their houses to light up yours and in the process they will be happily sitting on the sidelines. Welcome to the real world![/quote]
I always thought uber liberals wanted equity and championed diversity. But, I guess, not at the expense of their home values.  So, I guess you are "uber liberal" in name only?[/quote]

Conservatives don’t understand liberals.  They only believe what they see on Faux News.[/quote]
? So it's true that uber liberals are NIMBYS and care more about their house values than diversity?[/quote]

It’s true that liberals, at least those over 30 or so, feel conflicted when their values conflict with their strong personal interest in stability and in their largest financial investment (home).  Personally, I don’t think a lot of the loudest, angriest people are liberal at all.  Montgomery County does actually have Republicans who live here, as well as conservative Dems.  But lots of liberals feel conflicted and unsure about changes that they would support ideologically but that have the potential to cost them a lot of money personally and/or make life difficult for their kids (which I’m not convinced is in fact true, that it would cause problems for the kids, but which is a real concern).

Again, not in any way justifying the behavior of angry hordes, but also as a fence sitter who isn’t all in on supporting change.[/quote]
