Outspoken progressivism mixed with a heavy dose of nimbyism. For example, I'm Asian and have never felt as safe and accepted in Columbia and Howard County at large but I wouldn't expect my lovely neighbors to actually participate in any activism or support other than hashtags and bumper stickers. I've had people that I've done charity work with later suggest where to live in Columbia so I wouldn't be next to low income housing. It's a funny dynamic how Columbia manages to feel both corporately manufactured but also so stinking nice. No wonder why people don't want to leave.
