This is a stunningly difficult challenge for Marin administrators and not a laughing matter.

How do you not attract any minorities without actually appearing to be doing that? In other words, how do you insure failure while striving for success?

Reminds me a lot of the Mel Brooks movie “The Producers”. Wouldn’t it be really cool if things in Marin worked out that way, where they were wildly successful, and therefore ultimately failed at their mission. Fingers crossed.

Me, I’m in a town about 30 miles to the southeast of Marin County. In 2000 the town was less than 1% black. Since then, the population of blacks has exploded and is probably well over 2%. If we are not on the HUD radar someone should be fired.
