[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I don't understand about any of the MoCo Exec threads: If Marc Elrich is a NIMBY who wants to protect segregation/exclusionary white homeowners, Then why is the bulk of his support from Silver Spring and high-density urban downcounty areas, whereas (at least in the primary) he did worst in Potomac, which has ... exclusionary white homeowners?[/quote] There's plenty of white baby-boomers in Silver Spring that are anti-development with the mindset that the County should remain a suburban place with single-family houses and strip malls. Look at the opposition that many of the Elrich supporters had to townhomes being built on the former Chelsea School site in Silver Spring. Ditto for Takoma Park, where Elrich supporters also objected to re-development of the Takoma Junction site. NIMBY, white baby boomers who tend to be strong Elrich supporters aren't exclusive to just Potomac. [/quote]
