But when it comes to his actions, he's definitely not progressive when it comes to things like housing policy.  He absolutely seems intent on keeping as many poor and brown people out the county as possible.[/quote]

^^^Does this refer to Marc Elrich or Dan Reed? Dan Reed writes frequently and eloquently about his own experiences as a Black kid growing up in mostly-white suburbs, and how we need to do more to welcome people of every background. Marc Elrich would never acknowledge that his reactionary anti-housing views have the effect of keeping poor and brown people out of the county, and he tries to appear welcoming of diversity, but in fact his reactionary housing policies are extremely exclusionary.[/quote]

I was referring to Elrich.  As you said, he pretends to be progressive and inclusive, but his housing policies are absolutely exclusionary.  I've never been able to quite understand whether MoCo residents realize that.  Though, I suspect there's a lot of willful ignorance going on by MoCo "progressives" when it comes to the impacts of housing policy.[/quote]
