When many liberals look at a rag-tag group of neighborhood activists fighting against a corporation, their tribal instinct is to back the neighborhood activists. But when it comes to the issue of infill housing development, this gets the politics exactly backwards. Renter/home-buyer interests and housing developer interests are basically aligned. Not perfectly aligned, but about as well aligned as any political coalition is [...]

I and a number of others are ready to act.
A complaint was lodged by Arlene Dabrow to the County Commissioners. The complaint was referred to the Human Services Committee. That committee reviewed the complaint and found it had no basis. The committee reported back to the County Commissioners on their findings.
