We're hip, We're progressive, We're Elitist

I love it. Seattle Weekly posted an article (pg. 21) of this week's edition in regards to residents of the "Progressive" and multi-cultural neighborhoods of Columbia City and Hillman (Both neighborhoods which allegedly promote "Inclusiveness and Diversity."). It seems as though the hip crowd's tolerance stops at the homeless. DESC is planning on building apartments for the homeless in a nearby strip, and the residents who usually flash signs like, No one is illegal," and "Support immigrant rights," in their windows have "Castigated the project as housing for sexual predators, and criminals." It's funny how often we "Social progressives" are all talk until action involves a real sacrifice on our own part, then our true self (Greedy, heartless and elitist) takes over. What a wierd world this is, and we're all culpable!
