Overt racists are, in effect, likely to be "lost causes" in terms of their ability to change their attitudes. Their views are unapologetic and usually are a function of belief as opposed to experience.

But the limited growth policies that have remained popular with the Council (and a majority of the citizens, it would seem) have also kept the price of real estate high. Davis maintains the necessary amount of low-income housing, but many of the occupants are entry level workers at the town's biggest employer -- the University. These people tend to have college degrees and are -- you guessed it --
