At the October 27, 2012, Bridge Housing VP, Brad Wilban does his best to convince skeptical residents that the Marinwood Village 85 unit affordable housing complex will be a positive addition to the community. Expecting an audience of "white NIMBYs ", they instead found a diverse audience that shared common concerns of the impacts on the Dixie School district, government services, traffic and the environment. Almost all in attendance understood the need for some affordable housing but Bridge's presentation did not address the practical concerns of the community. When it became clear that the audience was not being convinced, Brad Wilban signals to his supporters in the audience who dominated the rest of the presentation and Supervisor Susan Adams finally finished with a filibuster and ended the meeting. Bridge Housing and Susan Adams promised to address the community concerns at a later date.
We are still waiting....
