[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hucker is the only choice for having a true visionary progressive. Elrich is too wed to caring about people’s housing values. [/quote]
Hucker co-sponsored with Riemer an amendment to Jawando’s proposed ZTA to upzone every single lot in this county. Not a chance in hell I would vote for him. First, he should know better than to team up with Riemer on anything. Second, it’s just irresponsible behavior from someone trying to position themselves as the responsible choice. So no thanks.

What’s it like to care more about your property value than the lives of poor people?

Can you explain? It’s a foreign concept to me. [/quote]

Very simple.  MC does not have, and will not have, sufficient resources to support every poor person who wishes to move to MC.  MC, of course, should take care of its own.  But overly generous anti-poverty programs will encourage more lower income people to move into MC.  And more lower income residents will drive up the MC budget, which, in turn, will require tax increases.  Higher tax rates will encourage middle and upper income taxpayers to move elsewhere, as they are the ones paying the MC bills. It is called reality.  MC is also one of the most taxed jurisdictions in the area, and is losing taxpayers.[/quote]
