Marc Elrich carries 2005 paper ideas into 2018 campaign remember in November (June)



Update June 17, 2018 link to full paper by Neighbors for a 'better' (rising median income) Montgomery Jim Humphrey. Humphrey co-opts rhetoric as a 'steady state' and 'optimum scale' 'environmentalist' to serve the purposes of housing resale market supremacy with profits for current homeowners only not new home builders ('developers') with higher percentages of MPDUs to house everyone on wait list without displacement to other counties.

 This tweet crossed my 'mobile device' (cell phone) screen.


I replied one time here


and here.


The third reply I posted showed that Marc Elrich had built enough of a relationship with "Where are the Brakes?" paper author Jim Humphrey that he appeared on the same stage for a photo opp(ortunity) to present an award to their mutual friend Wayne Goldstein who died in 2009.  

Not only was the civic activism relationship close but the 2018 statement "I prefer to put jobs in Frederick" reveals agreement with the "steady state" or "optimum scale" population growth control paradigm Jim Humphrey expressed in 2005.  That view has led to displacement of people to Frederick in the first place mostly by wealth and income class because people cannot afford the same living standard in Montgomery County.  

Only turnover in voting population between 2005 and 2018, as well as short memories among voters who turn out to vote, prevent the class segregation and displacement from costing Marc Elrich votes in the June 26, 2018 primary with early voting June 14-21, 2018.
