Is Racism Behind the Density Debate in San Diego?
A high profile environmental attorney in San Diego called out neighborhood opposition to development that would add density for "selfishness and closet racism."
Earlier in October, Andrew Keats reported comments made by Marco Gonzalez, "[one] of the most high-profile environmental attorneys and activists in town." Gonzalez made the comments at the San Diego Housing Federation’s annual conference, which are quoted at length in the article by Keats.
A follow up article by Matthew Hose follows up on incendiary comments by presenting the responses of readers who took exception with Gonzalez from a variety of angles.
