You think they wouldn’t do it without “Trumps precedence” ?
They don’t need that and never did.
If we don’t win this election were screwed.
“Social Relations” sounds like a method of contracting venereal diseases. I suppose if you live in a college campus bubble it might make sense, but not off-campus.
Americans move out when criminals and other Democrats move in. Saying it has anything to do with racial diversity is completely dishonest and they know it. Telling manipulative lies in their insatiable greed for tyrannical power is not ok.
They use as their expert (Sugrue) who was raised in a prosperous (it was the ‘60s) Detroit suburb who then spent his life living in leftist academia.
He never had a real job, never had to live in the urban jungle, and has written race-strewn articles his entire life.
He fits right in with the Politico radical leftist agenda.
“ Democrats fleeing cities are like a swarm of locusts”
Most of the Democrats that live in the suburbs, that I know, were raised in the suburbs. They have little or no experience with life in the city, though they may work in it. Their political beliefs are often just the opposite of their personal life.
Oh, another tard telling me what I don’t know and need to know, kkthx.
The liberals ignore the fact that there is a serious divide in this country but it isn’t based on skin color. It’s based on behavior. Suburbs and exurbs are populated by people who have invested in their homes, want attractive and orderly environs for themselves and their children, and are willing to conform to community norms such as maintaining their property and disciplining their children to get along with others. My neighborhood is upper middle-class and we have blacks, Muslims, Sikhs among us with no problems.
The threat by the Obama and Biden policy of forced mixed housing is not mixing skin colors but behavior that low-income housing brings, i.e., transients of every skin color with no incentive to get along with their neighbors or improve their environ because they have no personal investment in it, financial or emotional.
Anybody taking a class from this city professor should ask for a tuition refund.
Yep. He knows black, Asian, and Latino home-owners are no more anxious to be overrun with projects and watch their property values drop than white people are.
He’s an expert at reading, critiquing, and lecturing upon academic studies of the suburbs...
You make it sound like he might actually have had an original thought at some point...
Areas turn blue in proportion to population density: the more people you interact with (passing on sidewalk included) the more desirable laws to regulate interactions.
One drive through Portland, New York, Minneapolis, LA, Seattle, Detroit, or any other leftist enclave is all one needs to do to understand suburbs. Nobody wants to live in those hell-holes. We don’t even like working there, but we put up with it because we still believe in earning our keep.
This starts from the false premise that protecting suburbs from government meddling is about racism and then goes to the bizarre conclusion that it’s not all racism because there are white liberals involved, too.
It always amazes me that people get paid to come up with this garbage. Why can’t I have a simple job like that? (Besides the obvious desire to avoid a pay cut and a lobotomy?)
Some of my high school friends simply don't understand not having public water and sewer, having to hire a private contractor for trash pick up, not being able to leave yard waste by the street for government (or government hired contractors) to pick up.
Fire departments, quick police response, etc. They take that for granted. They panic if government is slow in plowing snow off the streets.
The further out you live, the fewer services. In time, you learn not to want them in the first place.
Good grief.... where’s the BARF alert?
I’m looking for a 10 acre plot withe a house square in the middle.
I have several black neighbors. All of them had a policy that their kids needed permission to associate with other black kids - not with white, Asian, or Hispanic kids, just with other blacks. They paid a lot of money to get their kids away from bad influences, and they (successfully) made sure that they would raise their children away from ghetto culture.
They’re like cockroaches - they flee the cities they ruined to cause havoc on the suburbs they located to, and you can’t get rid of them. I’ve seen it in my small KC suburb (Kansas side). Johnson County is now a lost cause.
The main division is “Class”, the next level is the Left/Right split (not readily apparent until the ratio moves to benefit the leftists and there goes the fun & freedom).
I lived in Downingtown, PA for a bit and my neighbors were mostly black. One of those neighbors, retired SeaBee, remains one of my closest friends.
There was a seemingly sudden change to our part of town; more renters than owners, more trash on sidewalks, more rude behavior, less participation in “events”.
Lower class people had been moving in and once they reached a noticeable percentage of the population, it was too late.
Those of us that could move, did.
